HC Deb 13 July 1993 vol 228 c458W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what matters in regard to the financing of environmental initiatives were introduced by the United Kingdom at the G7 heads of state economic meeting in Tokyo.

Mr. Nelson

The environment, and in particular the follow up UNCED, was one of the issues discussed in Tokyo. The G7 agreed to work to ensure that the global environment facility functions as the financial mechanism to provide funding for the incremental costs of implementing the global environment conventions signed at Rio.
