| 25 Mar 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “A question on usage. I note that South West has failed to reduce water consumption per capita and efforts to reduce leakage across the Pennon Group have had mixed results, I think it is fair to say. Is this increasing the risk of future usage bans in the area?” | 49 |

Finally, in protecting nature and meeting our environmental targets within the environmental land management schemes, how will the Government ensure success without the stability of ELM funding schemes? Is it still a priority for you and your Department?” | 43 |
| 24 Mar 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (2025-03-24) “Secretary of State, do you believe that you are prioritising sufficient funding for those environmental regulators and for environmental protection work within local authorities and within Natural England which, as we have already mentioned, is facing up to 200 job cuts?” | 41 |
| 24 Mar 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (2025-03-24) “Yes. The Committee always appreciates a yes or no answer and we look forward to engaging with you as those plans come forward. The review required Departments to identify biodiversity as well as carbon benefits within the process of the spending review.
