Environmental Audit Committee (EAC)
The Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) is a select committee that was established 1997 and acts with support from the National Audit Office via seconded staff, research and briefing papers. The role of the committee is to consider the extent to which policies and programmes of government departments and non-departmental public bodies contribute to environmental protection and sustainable development, and to audit their performance against sustainable development and environmental protection targets. The Committee's remit cuts across government rather than focussing on the particular work of any specific department.
