HC Deb 07 March 1995 vol 256 c162W
Mr. Dafis

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what role the meetings of all Green Ministers play in the integration of environmental considerations into all aspects of Government policy.

Mr. Atkins

Meetings of Green Ministers provide a valuable opportunity to discuss collectively aspects of environmental integration of common interest, such as energy conservation, environmental management and the forthcoming Environment White Paper. The meetings do not replace the individual responsibility of each Green Minister to ensure that environmental considerations are integrated into the strategies and policies of his or her Department.
