HC Deb 23 July 1993 vol 229 c484W
Mr. Dafis

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what consideration has been undertaken by his Department for the establishment of an environmental tribunal in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Yeo

The recent White Paper on open government announced that we are considering the need for a tribunal to handle appeals under the Environmental Information Regulations. We are not thinking of setting up an environmental tribunal with any wider remit.
