HC Deb 21 July 1997 vol 298 c427W
Mr. Matthew Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions which Government policies have been subjected to an environmental impact assessment since 1 May. [8898]

Angela Eagle

Environmental impact assessment normally applies to projects rather than policies. None the less, we are committed to the integration of environmental concerns into all our policy making and are currently investigating the best means of achieving this.
