Will the Minister provide an update on reasons for the delay to the Environmental Principles and Governance consultation, which was planned to be published in the autumn?

We have been delivering the largest peace-time legislative programme to ensure EU environmental legislation will function on exit day. With the publication of the Withdrawal Agreement we have reflected on the implications for addressing the governance gaps in Wales as well as our consideration of any potential UK-wide approach.
