§ Mr. StunellTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what plans his Department has to review its relationship with non-governmental organisations involved in energy and environmental education. [12546]
§ Mr. SpellarMy Department's relationships with non-governmental organisations involved in energy or environmental training has extended to contracting for such training when required. We have introduced more in-house environmental training, which includes energy education, to meet most of our current needs. There will nevertheless be a continuing requirement for specialist NGO training to meet the needs of staff in key environmental protection and energy appointments.
