HC Deb 26 April 1989 vol 151 cc585-6W
69. Mr. Waller

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on the extent of implementation of the Control of Pollution Act.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

The main provisions of the Act have all been implemented, with the exception of a few sections of part II which are contained in the water legislation currently before Parliament. The remaining provisions are either reserve powers or are now thought inappropriate.
