CEO of Environment Agency faces backlash over demands

Philip Duffy, the CEO of the Environment Agency, has come under scrutiny for a list of demands for his taxpayer-funded trips. He requests a 10am start time, early finishes on Fridays, and "sustainable sandwiches" for meals. The four-page document outlines his preferences, including a 2pm finish on Fridays and a maximum one-hour meeting length. Duffy also asks for fresh personal protective equipment for site visits, specifying his sizes. The Environment Agency stated that Duffy was unaware of the demands and often starts work at 7am. They emphasized that sustainable food and PPE provisions are standard practices within the agency.
