Answer: Mr. Baker: To ask the Prime Minister which (a) Departments and (b) Ministers will represent the Government at the forthcoming OSPAR convention in Copenhagen on 26 June. [124242] The Prime Minister: [holding answer 5 June 2000]: The annual meeting of the OSPAR Commission for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North East Atlantic will be held on 26 to 30 June. It is a meeting of officials from the Contracting Parties to the OSPAR Convention, which Ministers would not normally expect to attend. Although the exact composition of the UK delegation has yet to be finalised, I understand it is likely to comprise officials from DETR and DTI.
