§ Mr. Gordon PrenticeTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what estimate he has made of the volume and value of(a) plastic, (b) paper, (c) glass and (d) other materials transported from waste recovery plants to the end user by (i) rail, (ii) road and (iii) sea in the last available year. [29862]
§ Angela EagleNo such estimates have been made. However, as part of the review of the national waste strategy announced last month, we will want to consider how waste can be managed to encourage integrated and sustainable transport use. The Government are keen to improve the environmental sustainability of waste management, in particular through higher levels of recycling.
