HC Deb 18 April 1972 vol 835 cc83-4W
Mr. Kilfedder

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what are his intentions with regard to the introduc- tion of legislation about the dumping of toxic waste; and whether he will make a statement on the existing position.

Mr. Channon

My right hon. Friend does not at present propose to introduce special legislation about the dumping of toxic wastes in Northern Ireland since it has been possible for Government and local authority officials to identify the limited number of firms concerned and advise them about proper disposal arrangements. He will, however, keep the position under review.
