HC Deb 25 November 1987 vol 123 c234W
Mr. Ashdown

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what further action Her Majesty's Government are taking to promote international cooperation to protect the ozone layer.

Mr. Moynihan

The Department has put forward suggestions to the Commission and EC member states on how the control measures of the Montreal protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer might be implemented. In addition, we will be hosting a meeting in the United Kingdom early in 1988 to consider closer cooperation between EC and EFTA scientists on modelling and monitoring changes to stratospheric ozone.
