§ Sue DoughtyTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when the inquiry into the use of Indonesian rainforest timber at 2 Marsham Street will be completed; and if he will place a copy of the report in the Library. [131677]
§ Fiona MactaggartI refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Stoke-on-Trent, North (Ms Walley) on 1 September 2003,Official Report, column 985W. The report was prepared for internal use. An edited version is being placed in the Library which omits text covered by the exemptions in Part 2 of the Code of Practice on Access to Government Information. The recommendations have been and are being implemented. Arrangements for monitoring construction timber purchased by the developer for their own use have now been put in place. This is in addition to the previously planned arrangements for monitoring timber that will be part of the new building. Despite extensive inquiries the developer has been unable to establish precisely the source of the timber used to manufacture plywood previously supplied to the site.
