§ Mr. DafisTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish details of the measures taken in Wales following the recommendations of the 1995 world government meeting on land-based sources of marine pollution; and if he will make a statement. [22230]
§ Mr. Gwilym JonesThe UK delegation took a leading part in the conference organised by the UN environment programme in Washington DC on 23 October to 3 November 1995, which adopted the global programme of action for the protection of the marine environment from land-based activities. This programme of action reflects the approach being adopted throughout the United Kingdom, and by other states in north-west Europe, to this task. Implementation in Wales will therefore be achieved by continuing our present policies.
