§ Mr. DafisTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what mechanisms he will put in place to ensure that environmental sustainability considerations are taken into account in the policy-making process within his Department. [3853]
§ Dawn PrimaroloOur manifesto stated, "We will put concern for the environment at the heart of policy-making, so that it is not an add-on extra, but informs the whole of government." Like other departments, the Treasury is committed to delivering that commitment. I shall, as the Minister with the lead on environment issues for the Treasury, be taking a close interest in ensuring that we do so.
