<p>Natural England, like all other Defra sponsored bodies, receives a budget to carry
out its duties and responsibilities in line with what is affordable and the Government’s
priorities for the natural environment. Natural England has responded to the need
to balance public spending and to deploy resources to best effect. This is reflected
in Natural England’s ‘Conservation 21’ strategy which sets out how it will work with
local area based partners to deliver its core purpose. As part of planning for the
Spending Review 2019, Defra will work with Natural England to determine the future
funding necessary to deliver Natural England’s contribution to the Government’s 25
Year Environment Plan, including the scope for broadening its income base.</p>
