HC Deb 18 June 2003 vol 407 cc283-4W
Mr. Horam

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department which United Kingdom commitments arising from the World Summit on Sustainable Development(a) have been incorporated into the Department's existing delivery plan for Service Delivery Agreements and (b) will be incorporated in its delivery plan for Service Delivery Agreements in advance of the 2004 Spending Review. [113883]

Mr. Leslie

The current delivery plans for my Department do not incorporate specific commitments from the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD). The Department is not one of the Government Departments identified as having direct responsibility for delivery of the commitments as set out in the interdepartmentally-agreed Annex to the Memorandum submitted to the Environmental Audit Committee in response to their enquiry on WSSD follow-up.

Nevertheless, my Department will work to support Government policy on sustainability wherever the opportunity arises.
