WQ81697 (e) Tabled on 08/12/2020

Will the Minister consider amending the requirement that a review of the National Peatland Action Programme be undertaken within 18 months of the end of the fifth year, so that a review is carried out during the first five years?

Answered by Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs | Answered on 10/12/2020

Section 7.1 of the National Peatland Action Programme already requires the Review to be delivered to Welsh Government by the end of period 3 of the 2024/25 financial year (the end of June 2024).

Therefore the review will be carried out during the first five years of the programme, which ends in March 2025.
