§ Mr. WallaceTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he intends to seek the advice of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds concerning the development and implementation of environmental education in Scotland.
§ Lord James Douglas-Hamilton[holding answer 28 January 1991]: The views of the RSPB and other voluntary environmental bodies operating in Scotland on environmental education are of considerable importance to the development of a national strategy for environmental education in Scotland. This is the task of a working group, established by my right hon. and learned Friend the Member for Edinburgh, Pentlands (Mr. Rifkind) in September 1990, which I know is currently consulting the RSPB and other such organisations in Scotland.
