HC Deb 29 June 1998 vol 315 c81W
Mr. Maclean

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what initiatives the Government took to promote the UN World Environment Day on 5 June. [47221]

Angela Eagle

Advertising specifically promoting World Environment Day ran in the national press and on radio on 4 and 5 June as an extension to theAre you doing your bit? advertising campaign which took place during March and April this year. My Department also launched its Climate Change Impacts programme. To draw further attention to World Environment Day, the Deputy Prime Minister, as President of the EU's Environment Council, visited both the Donana National Park in Spain and the site nearby caused by a serious spillage of chemical waste.
