HC Deb 23 January 1990 vol 165 c646W
Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many copies of the document "Sustaining our Common Future", produced by his Department have been printed; and what attempts have been made to give the report a wide circulation.

Mr. Trippier

A total of 10,000 copies have been printed of "Sustaining our Common Future", my Department's report on the substantial progress made by the United Kingdom in following up the recommendations of the report of the World Commission on Environment and Development. The report has been very well received and copies have been sent to, among others, hon. Members, other Government Departments, non-governmental organisations, local authorities and business organisations, as well as overseas Governments and participants in a number of international conferences.
