§ Mr. Ieuan Wyn JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make it his policy to ensure that the United Kingdom Government only approves activities of the International Tropical Timber Organisation which incorporate strict environmental safeguards.
§ Mrs. ChalkerFollowing the International Tropical Timber Organisation's bi-annual meeting in Quito—28 May to 7 June 1991—independent consultants will be appointed to draft a manual on project preparation for the International Tropical Timber Organisation. The consultant's terms of reference will include making proposals to take full account of environmental impacts of projects. The British Government called for and fully support these and other reforms in the International Tropical Timber Organisation's project cycle.
