Organisation Outline:
The Committee considers to what extent the policies and programmes of government departments and non-departmental public bodies contribute to environmental
protection and sustainable development. It audits their performance against such targets as may be set for them by Her Majesty's Ministers and reports thereon
to the House.
The Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) was first established in November 1997 reflecting a manifesto commitment on the part of the incoming Labour Government.
The proposal for a single committee to look at the environmental impact of all Government departments can be traced back through the 1994 Labour party policy
document In Trust for Tomorrow to a submission to the Procedure Committee from Friends of the Earth in 1990.
