To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if he will place in the Library a copy of the ROAME document produced for his Department's research project on impacts of household charging in England, WR0708. (284140)

DEFRA does not create ROAME (Rationale, Objectives, Appraisal, Monitoring, Evaluation) statements for individual research projects but the process is adopted to provide a clear statement of rationale for developing projects under particular evidence programmes. ROAME statements have been created for each of the themes (A-F) of DEFRA's Waste and Resources Evidence Strategy (2007-11). The project WR0708 falls under Theme A of this programme: Understanding Economics and Incentives. As requested, the ROAME statement for this part of the programme has been placed in the House Library.
