HL Deb 12 July 1985 vol 466 c431

22 Clause 8, page 9. line 19, at end insert— ("(1A) Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (1) above, where it appears to a licensing authority that an applicant for a licence has applied for the licence with a view to the disposal of the substances or articles to which it would relate, the authority, in determining whether to issue a licence, shall have regard to the practical availability of any alternative methods of dealing with them.")

Lord Belstead

My Lords, I beg to move that this House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 22. This amendment would require the licensing authority to consider alternative means of disposal treatment or elimination of the waste when considering an application for a licence to dump. My Lords, I beg to move.

Moved, That this House do agree with the Commons in the said amendment—(Lord Belstead.)

On Question, Motion agreed.
