Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domer

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by Lord Whiny on 4 December 2001 (WA 131), whether they have decided to establish a green claims panel, particularly in light of the conclusion of the Advisory Committee on Consumer Products and the Environment at its meeting on 12 September 2001. [HL3061]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Lord Whitty)

The Government expect to consult further on proposals for a green claims panel with business and consumer stakeholders, as indicated in the reply on 4 December 2001. In doing so, they will take into account the recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Consumer Products and the Environment, which is due to publish its second report shortly.
