HC Deb 02 July 2001 vol 371 c46W
Mr. Damian Green

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs when(a) she and (b) Ministers in her Department next intend to meet the French Environment Minister. [819]

Mr. Meacher

I understand that the current French Environment Minister, Dominique Voynet, plans to stand down shortly. I intend to meet her successor at the next available opportunity. This may be at the COP 6 bis meeting in Bonn, between 16–27 July. I will also have similar opportunities to meet the French Environment Minister, particularly at the Environment Council in October, if not before.
