Answer

The Government plans to pass the Planning Bill and the Natural Environment Bill during this term. I look forward to receiving the Committee's recommendations on these Bills. At this stage, I cannot confirm if there will be any further amendments until the Government has reviewed the Bills after they are reported back.
