§ Mr. DalyellTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he intends to publish the proceedings of the seminar on sustainable development policies for Britain which his Department is holding in Oxford in March.
§ Mr. MacleanMy Department will hold a seminar at Green college, Oxford, from 18 to 20 March with a range of people from other Departments and outside government to inform our thinking about the report which the United Kingdom must submit to the UN Commission on Sustainable Development this year. Green college will produce a summary of highlights from the discussion which will be distributed to many people with whom we are discussing the preparation of the report. I shall place a copy in the Library of the House. The seminar itself is just one part of a wide public consultation exercise.
