The Environmental Audit Committee looks at the environmental impact of all government departments and non-departmental public bodies. Established in 1997 as part of the incoming Labour government's manifesto it audits performance against any sustainable development and environmental protection targets.
Unlike most select committees, the Committee’s remit cuts across government rather than focuses on the work of a particular government department. [1]

Activities
In the 2005-2010 Parliament, the Committee’s programme included inquiries on climate change and environmental fiscal measures (‘green taxation’), as well as sustainable development and environmental protection. [2]
