HC Deb 14 June 1999 vol 333 cc5-6W
Mrs. Brinton

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will estimate the total reduction in greenhouse gas emissions if hospitals and other NHS facilities in Wales used not-in-kind refrigerants. [86167]

Mr. Jon Owen Jones

Information from which to estimate the total reduction in greenhouse gas emissions if NHS bodies used not-in-kind refrigerants is not collected centrally.

The Welsh Office is fully supportive of the Government's commitment to running its operations and buildings in accordance with best environmental practice as an integral part of its contribution to the UK's sustainable development strategy.

Following the transfer of functions, this issue will be a matter for the National Assembly.
