§ Mr. DafisTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make representations to the European Community to increase available funding under the European Community's Life programme for land management work and monitoring.
§ Mr. MacleanThe priorities agreed by the management committee for Life funding in 1993 include actions relating to land use planning and management, and to environmental monitoring networks.
