§ Mr. MeacherTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs (1) when the environmental policies and procedures of the Commonwealth Development Corporation will next be reviewed;
(2) if non-governmental organisations will be involved in the next review of the environmental policies and procedures of the Commonwealth Development Corporation;
(3) what process of review will be employed in considering the adequacy of the environmental policies and procedures employed by the Commonwealth Development Corporation.
§ Mr. Lennox-Boyd[holding answer 2 November 1992]: The Commonwealth Development Corporation's guidelines on its environmental policies and procedures are currently under review. CDC is willing to hold further meetings with environmental NGOs that have expressed a wish to discuss the corporation's investments overseas. 180W ODA will ensure through discussion with CDC that its revised guidelines are consistent with ODA policies and procedures in this area.
