§ Mr. BennettTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what environmental evaluation is being undertaken of consumer services with high environmental impact, with particular reference to dry cleaning.
§ Mr. MacleanMy Department is not aware of any environmental evaluation which is being undertaken of consumer services.
In the early stages of development the focus of the European eco-labelling scheme will be on consumer products. Consumer services, such as dry cleaning, may well be covered later once the scheme is established.
