§ Mr. Malcolm BruceTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what official guidance exists for those seeking to dispose of redundant tyres; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Trippier[holding answer 23 March 1990]: My hon. Friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Industry and Consumer Affairs is expecting to receive very shortly a report from KPMG Peat Marwick identifying ways of reducing the volume of scrapped vehicle tyres and increasing resource recovery. When he receives the report, a working party will be set up with industry, local authority and voluntary group representation, to draw up an action plan. The plan will cover what guidance is necessary for those seeking to dispose of redundant tyres.
