HC Deb 20 March 2002 vol 382 cc370-1W
Mr. Pond

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what progress has been made towards the completion of the first five-yearly Financial, Management and Policy Review of the Environment Agency. [45324]

Mr. Meacher

I am pleased to announce that the Department is today publishing the second and final stage of this review.

The findings of the review establish a basis for a new and strategic relationship between the Agency and its Sponsors; more effective business planning and performance review; a sharpening of efficiency; and a wide range of actions by both the Agency and its Sponsors towards the improved delivery of environmental functions.

A copy of the report has been placed in the Library of the House.
