Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill

The Secretary of State outlined in her opening remarks the tightness of the timetable that she wishes to follow, subject to the House’s approval of this Bill but, in her reply to the Select Committee’s report on the simplification of rural funding schemes, she says:"““At this stage it is still too early to provide a detailed delivery design of the future arrangements which will result from this major programme of change.””" Will she give a more accurate timetable of when these matters are to be resolved and whether there will be any consultation on the final plan?
