HC Deb 03 April 2000 vol 347 c323W
Mr. Geraint Davies

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions when he will publish the Government's strategy for more sustainable construction. [117619]

Ms Beverley Hughes

"Building a better quality of life—a strategy for more sustainable construction" will be published on 4 April. The document will set out how we want the construction industry to contribute to sustainable development. The strategy will be a catalyst for change in the way buildings and infrastructure are designed, procured, constructed, maintained and used. It will lead to greater social, economic and environmental value in the built environment needed to modernise Britain.

Copies of the strategy will be placed in the Libraries of the House on 4 April.
