I am therefore honoured to have been appointed as a Minister in the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs where I will be working non-stop to protect and enhance our precious natural environment and landscape here in Keighley and Ilkley, our wider area and also across the country. Having worked in the food, farming and environmental sector prior to becoming your MP and having served previously on the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Select Committee in Parliament, I know just how important these issues are and I look forward to bringing my experience to the role. We have so many exceptional local business, charities and organisations across Keighley and Ilkley promoting food, farming, wildlife and our natural environment - and I cannot wait to bring some local inspiration and ideas to the national level. Keighley and Ilkley's MP Robbie Moore has urged leaders at Bradford Council to be held accountable for their 'dire mismanagement' of the district after the government took action to ensure the authority avoided technical bankruptcy. Tuesday, 14 November, Robbie Moore MP said: "Getting things done and making a positive difference to our local community matters to me and that means getting involved as much as you can. All rights reserved.

I absolutely can. To ensure that robust action is taken, we are holding the water industry to account on a scale that has never been seen before.

The maximum penalty for failure to stop after an incident is points and a 6-month custodial sentence. The sentence for failing to stop after a fatal collision must be increased. The offence of causing 'death by dangerous driving' should be widened to include: failure to stop, call and render aid on scene until further help arrives.

The department has yet to reveal his ministerial responsibilities. He was elected in the December election, narrowly beating the Labour incumbent. A post on his website says that he is from "an agricultural background and grew up on his family's farm, before training and working as a farm business consultant and rural chartered surveyor". A further post says that he worked for "12 years or so as a rural practice surveyor getting involved and advising on all sorts of agri-environmental stewardship agreements, moorland restoration projects, water quality improvement schemes and worked with the likes of Natural England and the Environment Agency to implement positive measures that would have huge environmental benefit". The post adds: "I outline this only to illustrate that protecting the environment is something which I care deeply about. I don't just talk about this topic but get engaged to physically do something about improving our environment as well. A post on his website says that, during his 12 years as a surveyor, he was also "heavily involved" in his family's "plastic recycling business and our family farm, where we use regenerative farming techniques, have recently planted many trees and installed solar panels to provide electricity".

It is Mr Moore's first ministerial role, though he has been working as a Parliamentary Private Secretary to support ministers in the Department for Education since November Mr Moore grew up in a family of farmers in Lincolnshire and prior to his election as an MP he worked as a rural chartered surveyor and farm business consultant. He became Conservative MP for Keighley and Ilkley in the general election in December and faces a tough challenge to keep his seat at the next election, which is expected to take place in around a year's time.

I am happy to tell the hon. This morning, I returned from Alney island in Gloucester, which saw the third highest water levels in the last years. I will come on to that point as part of my speech. We are investing more in maintaining existing flood defences to help ensure that they are kept in good working order. It prioritises action on overflows that discharge into ecologically sensitive sites such as SSSIs, areas of outstanding natural beauty and bathing waters. My constituents in West Bromwich East deserve better. Friend for inviting me to Gloucester this morning. In August , ENDS reported that Moore and a fellow Tory MP had sent "a page document to the Environment Agency arguing that an incinerator should not receive a permit, due in part to noise and air pollution fears". Can he say where he thinks the priorities should lie between protecting the farm land we need to grow our food and maintaining wildlife habitat? Environmental Politics. The Environment Agency and Ofwat have powers of enforcement, and those powers will not change under a special administration regime. You can change your cookie settings at any time.

Defra has today 28 December published its long-awaited consultation on reforms to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations , which have been praised by the new recycling minister, Robbie Moore. The consultation was mistakenly published last week, before it was quickly pulled by the department.

They are fed up with the Environment Agency in recent decades not doing its job in clearing out the dykes so that the water can escape; it seems to be prioritising the preservation of wildlife and habitat rather than getting the dykes cleared. In particular, the requirement for waste carriers to place their permit number on advertising will make it easier for the public and others to identify illegal waste operators and report them. The UK has the highest animal welfare score in the G7, according to the World Animal Protection index, and some of the highest animal welfare standards in the world. When it comes to frequent flooding, we are always making sure that we are best protecting as many homes and businesses as possible. Data from the moorland change map suggests a decline in burning and cutting on moorland areas since the introduction of these regulations in At the same time, we will invest for the long term to create a nation better protected against our changing climate. Urgent call for the government to close all nurseries and early years settings in light of the new lockdown to protect early years staff. Many local authorities do not issue any prosecutions in a year. Members for Kingston upon Hull West and Hessle and for Bath for their important contributions, although I must say it was good that they eventually came back on to the script, so to speak. There is obviously a clear need for the water industry to improve the resilience of water supplies through new water resources infrastructure. What discussions has he had or will he have with Thames Water with a view to better protecting our public health infrastructure from rainwater and floodwater and therefore limiting discharges from outflows? Fly-tipping is a serious crime, and offenders can face an unlimited fine and imprisonment if convicted in court. As we both recognise, that is why it is incredibly important to have a specific plan to tackle improving the designations poor, sufficient, or even good, to bring them to an excellent rating.
