HC Deb 27 March 1991 vol 188 c459W
Dr. Thomas

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he has any plans to update Pollution Paper No. 23 (1986) on "Public Access to Environmental Information."

Mr. Trippier

No. The paper was the report of an interdepartmental working party. The Government accepted its broad thrust. It also fully supports the EC directive of 7 June 1990 on freedom of access to information on the environment.
