Sustainable Development (Hansard, 3 February 1997)

§ Mr. Burt

The Department of Social Security, in the production of its annual report, concentrates on reporting progress towards the environmental objectives of the Department's environmental strategy. This in turn complements the sustainable development strategy, which includes energy efficiency targets, reductions in carbon emissions and waste minimisation. The Department is ranked low in terms of significant environmental impact and has no plans to assess the environmental implications of policy options or to use the indicators for sustainable development before the Department of the Environment completes its review and publishes a revised set in 1998.
