§ Mr. RedmondTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list, by year for the last five years, and by county, the number of tonnes of special waste arising(a) within the county and deposited within the county, (b) within the county and exported out of the county and (c) outside the county and deposited within the county.
§ Mr. RedwoodFrom the information available, it is not possible to differentiate the amount of special waste originating in and deposited in a county from that imported into the county for deposition. Nor is it possible to determine the amount of special wastes exported from a county which originated in the county. Special wastes may be imported and re-exported as part of the treatment and disposal process. The available information is given in the following table.
