HC Deb 22 July 2004 vol 424 c657W
Mr. Horam

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on the activities of the Green Minister in the Department in financial year 2003–04. [185125]

Mr. McNulty

In my capacity as Green Minister, I have been actively involved in the work of both ENV(G) Cabinet sub-committee and the Sustainable Development Task Force.

In my wider role as Green Minister, I have overseen the publication of the Department's Sustainable Development Policy Statement which was published on the DfT website in March of this year. This outlines how DfF is integrating the principles of sustainable development into decision-making.

I met with a number of stakeholders during 2003–04 to discuss a range of sustainable development issues of mutual concern.
