READERS' LETTER In December we ran an Enviroman piece on ' Michael Gove it a rest…'.
Like you I was bemused at Michael Gove’s proposal for a new environmental body to “hold the powerful to account” once we leave the European Union.
On and off between 1968 and 1996 I was involved with regulatory services in Scotland, answerable to the individual councils that employed me. We were told in 1995 that the new SEPA would ‘provide a level playing fi eld of uniform regulation throughout the country, free from interference of elected members’.
To be fair, the Government of the day had a point but the SEPA boards were appointed by people nominated through the Secretary of State for Scotland and (afterwards) by the Scottish Government so the ‘independence’ was questionable. Sir Ken Collins who was one of the early Chairmen of SEPA had previous been an MEP and Chair of the EEC Environment Committee. I can’t recall him ever holding any Government ‘to account.’
Being a simple chap, I thought when we leave the EU Westminster would immediately review all current environmental protection legislation. Then, remove parts (previously promulgated to bring EU measures into the UK) that weren’t in the best interests of the UK, while allowing SEPA and the EA to get on with enforcing it. It’s a process that worked well for a century before we joined the EEC.
As for Gove’s ‘holding the Government to account,’ who’ll appoint people to his new environmental body? No prizes for the answer: the respective governments! John Crawford, Lancashire
