Mr. Prescott

The Prime Minister and I will both be attending the UN General Assembly Special Session in June. The Prime Minister will address the General Assembly on 23 June. He will no doubt refer to the importance the Government attaches to the goal of sustainable development and to our priorities for pursuing that goal.
