Four EU Environment Council meetings, including two Informal Councils, and two North/South Ministerial Council meetings, for which my Department has responsibility, have taken place since the formation of the Government. While I may call upon Ministers of State from time to time to deputise for me at these meetings, I attended all of the meetings referred to above.
