HC Deb 17 March 1993 vol 221 cc310-1W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what recent meetings he has had with the Industry Council for Electronic Equipment Recycling; and what recent representations he has received from it.

Mr. Eggar

A director of my Department's environment division spoke at the launch of ICER in October last year, and has since corresponded with the organisation's chairman. Before that, officials in the division were closely involved in the CEST study which preceded the setting up of ICER, and also commissioned from the Department's Warren Spring laboratory a major study of electronic scrap recycling.
