HC Deb 08 December 1970 vol 808 c88W
Mr. David Clark

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the urban or rural district councils in England having incineration plants capable of handling domestic refuse.

Mr. Michael Heseltine

The information requested is not available. However, in the last five years loan sanction for incinerators to deal with domestic refuse has been given to the following urban and rural district councils:

  • Castle Donington Rural District Council.
  • Barrow upon Soar Rural District Council.
  • Lichfield Rural District Council.
  • Winchester Rural District Council.
  • Upton upon Severn Rural District Council jointly with Malvern Urban District Council.

Only in the case of the first two councils is the incinerator solely for their own use.
