Answer
I anticipate publication of the Peatland Strategy in Autumn 2022. My Officials have established a Peatland Strategy Steering Group which is currently considering a Governance Structure for implementation of the Peatland Strategy. Once this is finalised and resources are in place, an Action Plan will be agreed and taken forward.
