Environmental Targets (Water) (England) Regulations 2022 Lord Benyon moved that the Regulations laid before the House on 19 December 2022 be approved. Then Baroness Hayman of Ullock moved, as an amendment to the motion, at the end insert "but that this House regrets the lack of ambition and urgency contained in the Regulations; notes that in relation to the department’s consultation, an overwhelming majority of respondents supported more stringent targets than those in these Regulations; further notes that these targets must be considered in the context of the Environment Agency’s decision to postpone the deadline for improving the quality of England’s rivers, lakes and coastal waters to 2063; therefore calls on His Majesty’s Government to bring forward revised targets by the end of 2023". After debate, the amendment was withdrawn. Then the original motion was agreed to.
