Is it a coincidence that the same day my FANGTASTIC @EmmaIllustrate joy package arrived that the @_BCT_ drops my Bat Adoption Update…OR…is it bat magic? It’s Bat Magic isn’t it?!

MPs will have the opportunity vote on Lord Krebs amendment (amendment 15B) which seeks to enshrine in law the repeated government promises that they do not wish to weaken environmental legislation. bats.org.uk/news/2023/06/l

Ruth Chambers

**A Convenient Guide to Assist Ministers in Making the Right Decision on the REUL Bill**

A decision tree to assist government ministers in deciding whether to add an environmental safeguard to the Retained EU Law Bill, as many have called for.

It asks a number of questions starting with 'Should the government protect the environment in law'?

If the answer is no then re-read page 5 of the election manifesto. If the answer is yes, move to the next question 'Have we done it before'? The answer is yes, for example in the 2021 Environment Act.

Next question: 'what do the experts say'? An environmental safeguard is supported by the government's independent advisers the Office for Environmental Protection and the Climate Change Committee, amongst others, so answer yes.

The next question 'is there public support'? Answer yes, as hundreds of thousands of people have signed petitions or emailed their MP.

Next question 'will this stop me reforming retained EU law'? Answer no.

Final question: any reason not to proceed. Answer no. Call Lord Krebs to agree his amendment.

🦇 It’s a critical time for this post Brexit Bill & it puts wildlife in danger. PLEASE everyone: use this quick link to remind your MP to vote to AMEND the Retained EU Law Bill on Monday.🙏 This will stop power being able to erase legal wildlife protections without scrutiny.
