Answer: Mr. Lazarowicz: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if she will include a representative of the Scottish Executive in the United Kingdom delegation to the World Summit on Sustainable Development in 2002. [13148] Mr. Meacher: The devolved Administrations have been closely involved in the development of the UK's position on the World Summit on Sustainable Development.
