HC Deb 24 March 1994 vol 240 c394W
Mr. Dafis

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will consider the employment of additional staff in order to speed up the implementation of the United Kingdom biodiversity action plan.

Mr. Atkins

Implementation of the biodiversity action plan will require input from many Government Departments, public agencies and non-government organisations, co-ordinated through the action plan steering group. It is too early to assess the staffing implications.
