HC Deb 19 May 1971 vol 817 c295W
45. Mrs. Kellett

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he expects to announce his decision on the recommendations of the Key Report on the Disposal of Solid Toxic Wastes.

Mr. Peter Walker

The main recommendations of the Technical Committee on the Disposal of Solid Toxic Wastes are complementary to and are being considered with those of the Working Party on Refuse Disposal which was published on 27th April, 1971. In Circular 26/71 I indicated I have accepted in principle that the disposal of solid waste should be co-ordinated over reasonably large areas and that there should be a greater measure of control.
