HC Deb 15 February 1994 vol 237 cc676-7W
Mr. Win Griffiths

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what plans he has to increase the provision of initial and in-service education for teachers in environmental education.

Mr. Robin Squire

"Biodiversity: the UK Action Plan" and "Sustainable Development: The UK Strategy" include suggestions for action by schools and institutions in support of environment education. My right hon. Friend's policies in respect of the initial and in-service education of teachers were set out in my reply of 16 December 1993, column 772.
