§ Mrs. ChaplinTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what action he proposes to take on the recycling of waste.
§ Mr. HeseltineMy right hon. and learned Friend the Secretary of State for the Environment and I have today published a report prepared by Environmental Resources Limited for our Departments. The report sets out a range of options for the use of economic instruments to promote the recovery of resources from waste. It identifies a number of different approaches which could be effective in promoting recycling and my Department has therefore invited comments on these from interested parties by 31 January 1993.
I have arranged for a copy of the report to be placed in the Library of the House.
