Question:
To ask the Minister of the Environment for an update on his Department's discussion paper on Environmental Governance.

Answer:

The Department issued the Environmental Governance discussion document on 5th August 2011 setting out a number of options for consideration, seeking feedback from key interests by 9th September 2011. I am currently considering the way forward in light of the responses received, will advise the Environment committee and work to earn their support. Full public consultation will be required on any final proposals which may emerge from this initial exercise.
