§ Mr. DafisTo ask the Prime Minister if he will make it his policy to ensure that all Government Departments are subject to periodic environmental audits.
§ Mr. NewtonI have been asked to reply.
Government Departments publish accounts of their environmental performance in their annual departmental reports. This follows a commitment set out in the 1990 environment White Paper "This Common Inheritance", Cm 1200, and reaffirmed in the 1991 first-year report on that White Paper, Cm. 1655.
