The Environment Agency (EA) and Natural England (NE) will remain as separate bodies, the Government announced today, following a triennial review which suggested they could merge.
In a statement today, Environment Secretary Owen Paterson said the EA and NE “should be retained as separate public bodies with separate purposes and functions” but both bodies should “continue to reform how they deliver their services to their customers and drive further efficiencies.”
The review of the EA and NE was launched in December 2012, and has taken a “fundamental look” at how the bodies can continue to deliver Government priorities for the environment and improved resilience in the face of future environmental and economic challenges.
The bodies will be tasked with delivering the conclusions of the Reviews, developing a jointly-owned implementation plan in close consultation with Defra.
