Mr. Dafis

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what consideration the panels to be set up under the technology foresight programme will be giving to the potential environmental impacts of the areas of technology to be investigated.

Mr. David Davis

Each of the 15 sector panels established under the technology foresight programme will take account of environmental and other relevant factors in assessing market and technological opportunities over the next 10 to 20 years. In addition, one of the sector panels has the specific task of undertaking foresight into agriculture, natural resources and all aspects of environmental protection.
