Sammy the Green Champion

Mark Devenport | 15:17 UK time, Friday, 18 July 2008

His climate change scepticism and his opposition to an independent Environment Protection Agency have made Environment Minister Sammy Wilson the bete noire of local green campaigners. However they may be pleasantly surprised by what he has to say on this weekend's Inside Politics on the subject of building in the countryside.

Let's not get too carried away, though. A question about Gordon Brown's postponement of a fuel duty increase sees Sammy railing against "green fanatics". Now that's more like the minister to whom we have become accustomed.

The interview with Sammy Wilson is on Radio Ulster at 12.45 on Saturday.
