HC Deb 25 June 1990 vol 175 c39W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what proposals he intends to put forward at the United Nations Environment Programme governing council meeting in Nairobi on 1 to 3 August.

Mr. Trippier

I shall be attending the special session of the United Nations Environment Programme governing council from 1 to 3 August which will consider priority evolving environmental issues. I will be calling for international support for action on major issues such as climate change, the ozone layer and biodiversity. I will also seek to ensure that the governing council sends a strong message to the preparatory committee for the 1992 United Nations conference on environment and development about the major issues facing the world today.
