Mr. Meacher: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what assessment he has made of the research being conducted at
British universities into materials that could be exported in support of construction projects compatible with principles of
sustainable development; and what support his Department has provided these projects. [40425]
Mr. Clappison: My Department has made no such assessment. However, the Department of the Environment is providing direct support for
the enhancement of civil engineering exports, including environmental technology, through collaborative funding of a two-year
research project led by the Institution of Civil Engineers. This follows a recommendation from the national technology foresight
exercise and will promote appropriate research programmes to cultivate UK expertise critical to export success in civil engineering.
