HC Deb 11 June 1992 vol 209 c254W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Prime Minister what resource commitments have been made by Her Majesty's Government to support the institutional requirements to implement United Nations Conference on Environmental and Development decisions.

Mr. Newton

I have been asked to reply.

We expect agreement to be reached during the Earth summit on the most effective and efficient institutions to follow up recommendations made at the UN Conference on Environment and Development. We believe that a sustainable development commission is the right mechanism. We will consider what financial resources are appropriate once the institutional framework has been agreed.

Mr. Flynn

To ask the Prime Minister, pursuant to his answer to the hon. Member for Ceredigion and Pembroke, North (Mr. Dafis) of 2 June,Official Report, column 392, if he will list the heads of Government he has met since 9 April, and the date on which he discussed with them the Earth summit.

Mr. Newton

I have been asked to reply.

My right hon. Friend the Prime Minister has nothing further to add to the answer he gave to the hon. Member for Ceredigion and Pembroke, North on 2 June at column 392.
