HC Deb 03 June 1997 vol 295 cc160-1W
26. Mr. Pickthall

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will undertake discussions with Lancashire county council about proposals to tip household waste in Round "O" Quarry, West Lancashire. [471]

Mr. Meacher

It would not be appropriate for me to discuss the plans for Round "O" Quarry with Lancashire County Council at this stage. Proposals relating to the quarry are contained within the draft Lancashire Minerals and Waste Local Plan, which will be the subject of a public inquiry next year. The inquiry will provide objectors and supporters with an opportunity to put their views to the Inspector.
