Protecting our environment in Northern Ireland for future generations is a hugely important issue and highlights why I am determined to restore an Executive at the earliest opportunity. For environmental matters which the UK Government has responsibility, we are working hard to deliver on our ambition to leave the environment in a better state than in which we inherited it. We will continue to work with the Devolved Administrations to develop and support environmental improvement measures across the whole of the UK.</p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 29/04/2019 12:29:08 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley

While the Assembly is not sitting, I recognise that MLAs continue to be active in constituency work. The reduction that has been implemented reflects the work MLAs have been doing in the current period and is in line with the recommendations of former Assembly clerk and chief executive Trevor Reaney.
