Inquiry

The Environmental Audit Committee has today launched an open call for potential topics of inquiry in the areas of climate change, the environment and nature.

‘The Environment in focus’ Inquiry invites proposals on what the Committee should investigate next and why. Up to 10 individuals will then be invited to pitch their proposal to MPs on the Committee in a public session. The winning proposal will form the basis of a new inquiry by the Committee.
