Vol. 488 No. 4

Written Answers - Recycled Products.

David Stanton

Ceist:

265 Mr. Stanton asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the arrangements, if any, in place in his Department and in any State agency or body under his control to encourage or enforce the reuse or recycling of paper and, in particular, of envelopes; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6175/98]

My Department is committed to actively supporting the development of better environmental practice across the public sector.

The National Sustainable Development Strategy, published by the Department of the Environment in 1997, gives a long-term commitment to green housekeeping, including the recycling and reusing of paper in Government Departments and across the wider public sector.

I am satisfied that my Department is doing all it can to ensure that, as far as practical, best environment management practice is followed.
