HC Deb 29 June 1994 vol 245 c556W
22. Mr. Morley

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment when he last met the chairman of the Joint Nature Conservation Committee to discuss its annual budget.

Mr. Atkins

My predecessor, the hon. Member for Suffolk, South (Mr. Yeo), met the chairman of the Joint Nature Conservation Committee last July to discuss a range of topics including the committee's priorities and budget. I will be holding a similar meeting with the Earl of Selborne before the summer recess.
