§ Mr. TredinnickTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what progress has been made in environmental protection over the last year.
§ Mr. MacleanIn the past year we have taken action on the environment at all levels: local, national and international. The United Kingdom played a leading role in the Earth summit, and we are taking an active part in the international discussions to follow up the agreements reached there. The EC Environment Council made significant progress under our presidency on environmental issues, in particular in integrating environmental concerns into the development of the different sectoral policies. We set out our achievements and targets in domestic policies in the second year anniversary report on the Environment White Paper, published in October 1992.
