§ Mr. Peter Duncan: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what representations she has had from (a) the fuel industry and (b) environmental groups on the manufacture of road fuel from waste plastics. [162283]

§ Mr. Morley: The Department is not aware of receiving any recent representations, on the manufacture of road fuel from waste plastics, from either the fuel industry or environmental groups. The Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) has, in the past, received inquiries on this issue. However, because WRAP'S remit is to develop markets for recycled materials, and the manufacture of road fuel from plastics does not meet the definition of recycling in the Packaging Directive (2004/ 12/EC), the issue has not been pursued.
