SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION

Early day motion 1620, tabled 16 March 2011 by John Leech (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 27 members.

That this House supports the Government's aspiration to be the greenest ever; recognises the Sustainable Development Commission's progress to date in monitoring and increasing the sustainability of Government work; is concerned that the abolition of the Sustainable Development Commission on 31 March 2011 will prevent the Government from succeeding in its environmental aspirations; and calls on the Government to reconsider its policy on the Sustainable Development Commission and to negotiate with relevant trade unions to make sure hard working staff and expertise in this area are not lost.

Signatures by party: Labour 14, Liberal Democrat 5, Social Democratic and Labour Party 3, Alliance 1, Conservative 1, DUP 1, Green 1, Plaid Cymru 1.
