Big thanks to my University of Strathclyde students today for their excellent Qs for today’s UK Parliament visit & for the great contributions including our former Parliamentary Studies student: Amy Callaghan as well as Mark Tami MP Robin Teverson Jacob Rees-Mogg @RozCurrie Robi Quigley 👍
.Robin Teverson reminds House of Lords of the severity of the twin nature and climate crises in the #EnvironmentBill debate. He calls on the Prime Minister, government and Parliament to give these crises the priority they deserve.
Debate on the fourth group of amendments has now started with Peers pitching new priorities for environmental improvement targets. Robin Teverson kicks off with concerns about the lack of attention given to the marine environment. #EnvironmentBill
.Robin Teverson reiterates the importance of amendment 34 and encourages mandatory engagement with the Office for Environmental Protection on who should be consulted on setting environmental improvement targets.. #EnvironmentBill
And they just keep coming! Robin Teverson is now on his feet adding his concerns on OEP independence. He reminds us of the government's commitment to world leading environmental governance in the #EnvironmentBill - it must be strengthened to deliver this.
.Robin Teverson raises an important point on divergence from the EU on chemicals standards which causes confusion, increases costs to chemical supply chains & could increase animal testing. Baroness Bloomfield responds for the govt. The #EnvironmentBill already enables a review.
.Lord Wajid Khan and Robin Teverson argue that the OEP should be empowered to give advice to ministers as it chooses. This is an essential feature of independence. Anything less would undermine the stature and effectiveness of the OEP. #EnvironmentBill
Glad to hear Robin Teverson mention Wally the Walrus and the Scilly Egyptian Vulture in the Environment Bill in House of Lords.
Lord Krebs asks about govt action to ensure fish stocks are harvested at or below maximum sustainable yield. No response from the govt on that one. Robin Teverson reiterates that nature recovery networks must cover land and sea & be developed in a joined up way. #EnvironmentBill

If you defund your environmental regulators then this is a quite predictable outcome. Anyone having a go Environment Agency might like to pause & wonder if the real issue is about capacity (staff resources, legal budgets etc) rather than a lack of commitment to good outcomes.
