§ Mr. Ieuan Wyn JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what steps he has taken to distribute copies of the United Nations environment programme's environmental data report for 1987–89 to interested bodies in the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. Heathcoat-AmoryThe environmental data report was prepared for the United Nations environment programme by the monitoring and assessment research centre at King's college, University of London, in association with the World Resources Institute, Washington and the Department of the Environment. It is a valuable contribution to UNEP's global environmental monitoring programme and an important and authoritative source of environmental information. A copy of the report has been placed in the Library of the House. The report will be publicised at a seminar on environmental awareness on 10 November organised by the United Kingdom committee for UNEP which will be attended by a wide range of interested Government and non-governmental organisations, including industry, the media and the academic community.
