Caroline Flint

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will report on the work of the Peat Working Group. [85436]

Mr. Raynsford

The Peat Working Group was convened in 1997 to review existing planning policies for the provision of peat and alternative materials, and to advise the Government of the need, or otherwise, for change. It will report shortly, and we will consider arrangements for the publication of its findings.
