§ Baroness Davidasked Her Majesty's Government:
When they will publish their response to the House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee's Fourth Report of Session 2001–02, Measuring the Quality of Life: The 2001 Sustainable Development Headline Indicators. [HL6374]
§ Lord Whitty:We are pleased to announce that copies of the Government's response to the Environmental Audit Committee's Fourth Report of Session 2001–02, Measuring the Quality of Life: The 2001 Sustainable Development Headline Indicators, have been laid in the Libraries of both Houses.
The Government's response reinforces our commitment to reporting progress towards sustainable development, particularly through a set of headline indicators. In our sustainable development strategy A better qualify of life, published in 1999, we envisaged a full review of both the strategy and all the indicators after five years, which we will aim to complete by the end of 2004.
