§ Mr. Moneyasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what action his Department has taken or proposes to take on the report of the technical committee on the Disposal of Solid Toxic Wastes, 1970.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerThe Report of the Working Party on Refuse Disposal, which is expected to contain recommendations complementary to those in the report of the Technical Committee on the Disposal of Solid Toxic Wastes, is to be published very shortly. Consultations with local authority associations and other interested bodies will be necessary. It is desirable that these consultations, which I intend should take place as soon as possible, should have regard to the recommendations in both the reports.
