Mr. Dafis

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make it his policy to adopt a declaration and covenant committing the United Kingdom to the ethic of sustainable living, including a definition of rights and responsibilities.

This Government's commitment to the principle of sustainable development was clearly set out in the 1990 environment White Paper "This Common Inheritance". We will develop policies on environmental rights and responsibilities through the citizens charter initiative.
