Select Committee on Environmental Audit Minutes of Evidence


Examination of Witness (Questions 100-101)

THURSDAY 13 MARCH 2003

SIR GEOFFREY HOLLAND

  100. On our main Committee, we do have members from both Wales and Scotland. I do not think there is time for us to explore that now, but I am just wondering whether or not you have any advice which can be perhaps put in a note to us afterwards which would perhaps just put the context of Wales and Scotland . . . I am not asking you to set out their policy, I just feel that we are concerned about the wider issue and I just wondered whether or not there is any comment that you can provide on that.
  (Sir Geoffrey Holland) There is hardly any comment to make except that there are one or two publications which again your secretariat could get for you. There is an equivalent in Scotland to ourselves and there is an equivalent to ourselves in Wales. At least one of those has paid a great deal of attention to following in our footsteps and there may not be anything distinctively different.

  101. Are there going to be Sounding Boards in Wales and Scotland?
  (Sir Geoffrey Holland) That I do not know.

  Chairman: Can I thank you very much indeed for spending the time here today.
