§ Mr. KirkwoodTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what new plans he has to deal with the future disposal of chemical hazardous waste.
§ Lord James Douglas-Hamilton[holding answer 31 January 1989]We have recently consulted widely on proposals to strengthen controls on waste disposal in Scotland, and will announce our conclusions shortly. We expect to issue two further consultation papers on aspects of waste disposal within the next few weeks. We are also reviewing the Control of Pollution (Special Waste) Regulations 1980 and the Control of Pollution (Licensing of Waste Disposal) (Scotland) Regulations 1977.
