Question
Further to the publication of the draft budget, what discussions has the Welsh Government have undertaken to determine what resource is required to introduce a framework for a long-term independent Office for Environment Protection?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Climate Change
Welsh Government has engaged a range of key stakeholders, including Welsh Treasury and other government departments, in the assessment of the resource required for developing an independent environmental governance commission. This assessment may be subject to change following the outcome of any future consultation.
This work forms part of the Co-operation Agreement between the Welsh Government and Plaid Cymru, and will be carried out in collaboration with Siân Gwenllian MS, the Plaid Cymru designated lead member.
