HC Deb 23 June 1977 vol 933 c593W
Mr. Nicholas Edwards

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he intends to implement Section 12 of the Control of Pollution Act 1974.

Mr. Mudd

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he can yet indicate the likely implementation date of Section 12 of the Control of Pollution Act 1974.

Mr. Marks

Section 12 places new duties on local authorities with regard to the collection of refuse. In the light of the current financial constraints on local authorities, I am unable to say when it will be implemented.
