The second amendment to the Espoo Convention was adopted in 2004 and entered into force on 23 October 2017. The Government takes its international commitments very seriously and will only commit to formal ratification when it is satisfied it is in a position to do so. Officials will assess what needs to be done under domestic legislation, and practical arrangements to ratify the second amendment, in due course.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 05/09/2018 13:36:11 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
