This Friday’s edition of the Brexit Briefing is part of the series of posts to highlight articles published in the media covering Brexit from an environmental perspective.
The articles are presented in chronological order with the most recent articles first. They are not presented in any specific order of importance & are provided as a selected sample of news articles to promote understanding of the key environmental issues as they develop during the Brexit process.
The selected articles from this past week, which saw a UK Parliament vote in favour of the legislative blueprint for Brexit, the pro-EU House of Lords will have their say next & Boris offers to “bridge” closer ties with the EU, are:
