HC Deb 22 October 1991 vol 196 c484W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment when Her Majesty's Government received a copy of the Toronto declaration on world cities and their environment, concluded at the congress of municipal leaders on 28 August; and if he has taken any steps to respond to the appeals made to national Governments in resolution 15, resolution 22 and resolution 23.

Mr. Baldry

My Department has seen a copy of the "Toronto Declaration", which appears to be designed as an input to the United Nations conference on development and the environment, to be held in Brazil in June 1992. My right hon. Friend the Prime Minister has already announced that he hopes to attend, and the Government are participating actively in the preparatory work.
