HC Deb 24 January 1990 vol 165 cc730-1W
Mr. Graham

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he has any plans to allow other waste disposal sites in the Renfrew, West and Inverclyde constituency.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

Responsibility for the provision of waste disposal sites in Scotland rests initially with district and islands councils as waste disposal authorities. My right hon. and learned Friend would normally become involved only if an application for planning permission, or an appeal against refusal of planning permission, came before him for determination.
