HC Deb 17 February 1994 vol 237 c964W
Mr. Dafis

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his definition of the satisfactory progress referred to in paragraph 8(2) of the United Kingdom biodiversity action plan.

Mr. Atkins

Satisfactory progress will have been made when we judge there to be reasonable safeguards in support of our concerns that donor countries should retain the right to determine their financial contribitions under the biodiversity convention.
