Description

As a response to Brexit, the Continuity Bill was introduced to serve the core purposes of enabling dynamic alignment with the EU and filling the accountability gap created by the loss of the environmental oversight provided by the EU Commission and Court.  It is now a more far-ranging environmental measure, imposing requirements for a review of environmental governance and an environmental policy strategy.
