Lord Hughes of Woodside

asked Her Majesty's Government:

When they intend to publish the second annual Green Ministers' report. [HL4601]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (Lord Whitty)

We are delighted to announce that "Greening Government: the Second Annual Report of the Green Ministers Committee" will be published tomorrow. It provides a comprehensive account of the work of Green Ministers over the past year, and sets out our future work programme. The report reflects Green Ministers' increasing focus on integrating sustainable development into government policies, as well as our continuing efforts to improve the environmental performance of government operations. There is a considerable amount of information at department level to enable the reader to understand the progress each department has made in all areas of our work.

Copies will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.
