The Prime Minister made a statement in the House of Commons outlining further national restrictions for the whole of England. The outline for the latest government guidelines for England is as follows:
Our planning system needs to work for those who use it to make sure new homes, businesses and vital infrastructure are not held back by outdated, complicated and time-consuming bureaucracy.
All wild birds are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and there are strong penalties in place for offences committed against birds of prey and other wildlife, with most wildlife crimes carrying up to an unlimited fine and/or a six-month custodial sentence.
I share concern about the protection and health of British Waters, and I am fully aware of the impact that super trawlers have on marine life. Our waters are a precious natural resource and they must be managed carefully.
As we deliver on our election pledge to get Britain out the EU we have a massive opportunity to unlock Britain's real potential and make relationships with economies the world over. I want to see a Britain that is outward looking, prepared to make the most of all we have to offer.
