§ Mr. Simon HughesTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will outline the priorities for future action of the green Minister in his Department(a) over the next year and (b) over this Parliament; and if he will make a statement.
§ Sir Hector Monro[holding answer 10 July 1992]: As the responsible Minister I shall, over the next 12 months, follow-up commitments in the White Paper Cm 1200 "This Common Inheritance" and its successor CM 1655 "The First Year Report". In particular, the Scottish Office will develop an environmental housekeeping strategy for its accommodation and purchasing.
Over the next year and beyond I shall seek to achieve greater integration of environmental concerns into wider policy-making. I shall also continue to ensure that Scotland's environment is further safeguarded through the influence of Scottish Natural Heritage, Historic Scotland and the creation of a Scottish Environment Protection Agency.
