§ Mr. SpellerTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will require county and district councils to indicate those areas within their planning control which are suitable for use in the disposal on land of waste products at present disposed of into coastal waters.
§ Mr. YeoAssessment of the relative merits of alternative means of waste disposal is one of the matters for consideration in the waste disposal plans which authorities are already required to prepare under environmental protection legislation. Amendments to the Planning and Compensation Bill have been tabled in another place which will also require county councils in England to prepare waste disposal development plans for their areas. These plans, which will complement the present waste disposal plans, will set out authorities' land use policies and proposals for the management and disposal of waste.
