HC Deb 11 June 1992 vol 209 cc264-5W
Mr. Dafis

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make it his policy to encourage the full participation of non-governmental organisations in international environmental meetings.

Mr. Maclean

It is already our policy to encourage participation of non-governmental organisations in international environmental meetings. For instance the United Kingdom's delegation to the Earth summit includes representatives of environment and development groups, industry, youth, trades unions, local government and scientists.
