HC Deb 29 October 1990 vol 178 c794

Lords amendment: No. 157, in page 71, line 32, after ("treated") insert (", kept")

Motion made, and Question proposed, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said amendment.—[Mr. Trippier]

Mr. Deputy Speaker

With this it will be convenient to take Lords amendments Nos. 158 to 163 and 298.

8 pm

Mr. Adley

Does my hon. Friend the Minister feel that he should say anything about the effect on airports, railway stations and ferry ports, because of the changes made by another place in clause 72 and their references in paragraph (b) of their amendment No. 163 to any premises used for the purposes of, or in connection with, the provision to the public of transport services by land, water or air"?

Mr. Trippier

Amendment 163 updates the definition of industrial waste in clause 72 in such a way that it no longer relies upon who owns or operates the industry or on what it does. That is a safer means of delivering the same effect. I remember that my hon. Friend mentioned this subject in Committee, and I am grateful to him. The amended clause would have a wider application, and it would be more stringently enforced. I think that that meets his concerns in every particular.

Question put and agreed to.

Subsequent Lords amendments agreed to.
