HC Deb 08 March 1990 vol 168 c797W
Sir David Steel

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what preparations Her Majesty's Government propose to undertake to celebrate and publicise the Earth Day 1990 campaign on 22 April.

Mr. Trippier

Organisation of events relating to Earth Day in this country is being handled by a range of environmental groups, including Friends of the Earth. We welcome all genuine efforts to improve public understanding of environmental issues, but we have no plans for direct Government involvement in Earth Day events.
