Kerry McCarthy MP, Shadow Environment Secretary, responding to the Environmental Audit Committee report into EU and UK Environmental policy:

“The conclusions of the Environmental Audit Committee report are clear: A vote to leave would put the future of a cleaner, safer, healthier environment at risk.

“Britain’s membership of the European Union is delivering safer habitats, cleaner beaches, and cleaner air.

“I welcome the Environmental Audit Committee’s report and decision that the weight of evidence shows a vote to remain is the strongest and safest choice.”
