Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs written question – answered at on 20 March 2025.
Martin Wrigley
Liberal Democrat, Newton Abbot
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will report on the (a) financial, (b) environmental and (c) social impact of coastal natural capital resources in Devon.
Emma Hardy
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
Defra has not undertaken specific regional surveys on coastal natural capital resources and, therefore, does not hold information on the financial, environmental and social impacts specific to Devon. Defra’s £38 million marine Natural Capital and Ecosystem Assessment programme has explored the state of England’s marine and coastal natural capital resources and the environmental, societal, and economic value they hold. It has delivered evidence, tools and guidance to inform place-based and system-wide decision making. The programme completes at the end of March 2025, with data and reports available later this year.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
