§ Sue DoughtyTo ask the Secretary of State for International Development who her Department's Green Minister is; when they(a) have attended and (b) plan to attend meetings of the Green Ministers Committee; what the outcomes of meetings were for her Department's activities; and if she will make a statement. [65984]
§ Clare ShortOur Green Minister is Sally Keeble MP. She was appointed to the ENV (G) Committee on 29 May.
Following the general election in June 2001, the previously informal Green Ministers Committee was upgraded to a Cabinet Sub-Committee of ENV and it is established practice under exemption two of Part II of the Code of Practice on Access to Government Information not to disclose information relating to the proceedings of Cabinet Committees. Therefore I cannot relate progress or outcomes by my Department to anything that has been discussed.
