Mr. Hew SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what considerations she has given to the report by the World Health Organisation Commission on Health and Environment; and what steps she has taken to develop policies to meet the principles set by the Commission.
§ Mr. SackvilleWe have welcomed the report. Its proposals are consistent with the Government's policies, as expressed in the White Paper "This Common Inheritance" published in September 1990 and with the Department's responsibilities for the promotion and protection of the public health.
