HC Deb 13 June 2003 vol 406 c117W
Mr. Bercow

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what steps the Department has taken to publicise its Public Service Agreement targets; and at what cost to public funds. [114442]

Alun Michael

Ministers and officials take every opportunity to explain and publicise Defra"s Public Service Agreement targets and the way that Defra and its partners inside and outside Government can contribute to achieving these purposes which will contribute to sustainability and quality of life.

General information on PSA targets is published on the Defra website (http://www.defra.gov.uk/corporate—/busplan/busplan.htm) and progress towards meeting SR2002 targets can be viewed on the HM Treasury web-based reporting site (http://www.hm-treasurv.gov.uk/ performance/). Information is also included in routine publications such as departmental reports which involves no significant extra cost. Other publicity includes the Autumn Performance Report which specifically sets out progress on our PSA targets.
