§ Mr. ChaytorTo ask the Secretary of State for International Development who is writing the report on the measures needed to implement the Action Programme on Forests to be considered by G8 Foreign Ministers at their meeting prior to the next summit in Okinawa; when the report will be ready; and if she will place a copy in the Library.

§ Clare ShortA report on the implementation of the G8 Action Programme on Forests agreed by Foreign Ministers at Birmingham in May 1998 has been produced by forest experts from each G8 country. The report will be considered in the run-up to the Okinawa Summit. I expect it to be released either at the Summit or at the prior meeting of Foreign Ministers. I will place a copy in the Library as soon as it is published.
