HC Deb 15 January 2002 vol 378 c288W
Jeremy Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what information she has collated for each London borough on the proportion of waste that is recycled; and if she will provide information on the proportion of(a) glass, (b) wood, (c) cloth and (d) paper that is recycled. [25822]

Mr. Meacher

The latest data available (for 1999–2000) on the percentage of household waste recycled in each London borough, and in each of the four Joint Waste Disposal Authorities in London, are given in the table. This table also gives the statutory performance standards for the recycling and composting of household waste for each borough.

Data for 2000–01 are currently being collated from local authorities. The Government do not hold this information broken down by material.
