§ Mr. BakerTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he appointed a Green Transport co-ordinator; and on what date the appointment took effect. [32479]
§ Dawn Primarolo[holding answer 3 March 1998]: The Guide to Green Transport Plans circulated last September by my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions encouraged Departments to appoint green transport co-ordinators. This function naturally falls to an existing post within the Treasury, and since September 1977 the occupant of this post has explicitly included co-ordination of green transport in the Department within her duties.
