ACCESS TO ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION BILL

Early day motion 288, tabled 8 February 1999 by Lord Taylor of Goss Moor (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 204 members.

That this House believes that people have a right to know about dangerous pollutants emitted from sources in their area; notes that the Minister for the Environment stated in September 1998 that 'I want a toxic releases inventory of all noxious discharges to land, air or water in their neighbourhood to be readily available for public inspection by local people'; and therefore supports the Access to Environmental Information Bill introduced by a cross party group of honourable Members on 8th February.

Signatures by party: Labour 127, Liberal Democrat 39, Conservative 14, Labour/Co-operative 7, UUP 4, Plaid Cymru 3, Social Democratic and Labour Party 3, DUP 2, Scottish National Party 2, Independent 1, Independent Labour 1, UKUP 1.
