Mr. Roger Williams: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what remit relating to sustainable development isrequired by her Department's (a) executive agencies, (b) advisory non- departmental bodies, (c) executive non-departmental bodies,(d) tribunals, (e) public corporations and (f) other bodies. [116670]Mr. Caborn: DCMS has over 60 sponsored bodies including one executive agency (Royal Parks) and two public corporations (BBC andChannel Four). The role of the Department in respect of all environmental matters is to ensure that Government targets are madeknown to autonomous sponsored bodies and to offer guidance and encouragement towards achievement of agreed targets. It is not theDepartment's role to direct the way in which sponsored bodies are managed but many, such as the Royal Parks Agency and the NationalScience Museum, are proactive and take a leading role in sustainability and biodiversity. In the Greening Government First AnnualReport a commitment was made to have Cabinet Office NDPB guidance revised to include the requirement for departments to encompassSustainable Development into the remit of any newly created NDPB. This was done and reported in the Greening Government SecondAnnual Report.
