To ask His Majesty's Government what progress they have made in meeting the 1 October 2024 deadline to address the recommendations in Decision VII/8s, adopted by the Meeting of the Parties to the Aarhus Convention at their Seventh meeting in 2021, concerning compliance by the UK with its obligations under the Aarhus Convention.

The UK Government is committed to the effective implementation of its international obligations under the Aarhus Convention on access to information, public participation and access to justice in environmental matters.

The submission of the UK’s final Progress Report has been delayed to allow the new Government time to consider the recommendations in decision VII/8s, endorsed at the 2021 Meeting of the Parties.

We look forward to responding in due course.
