Discussion paper -Triennial Review of the Environment Agency and Natural England

Defra has published the following discussion paper (consultation) which closes on 4 February 2013

Extract from Foreword by The Rt Hon Owen Paterson, Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs

This Review gives us a good opportunity to step back and take a fresh look at what the EA and NE currently do and how they do it. The challenge for our public bodies must be to meet their environmental obligations while looking at innovative ways to reduce the burden that this may sometimes place on business. We must also be mindful of the many ways in which the work of these bodies impacts on the daily lives of people, be it customers receiving environmental advice, communities dependent on flood protection or the general public enjoying the many benefits with which the natural environment provides us.
