Mr. Colvin

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment when he plans to launch the rural charter initiative promised in his White Paper "Rural England". [12337]

The rural charter initiative, including the rural services checklist, was launched on 1 November 1995. I have arranged for a copy of the checklist to be placed in the House of Commons Library.
