HC Deb 24 November 1971 vol 826 cc356-7W
50. Mr. Kinsey

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on land available for future refuse disposal.

Mr. Graham Page

The availability of sites suitable for refuse disposal purposes is a matter for local authorities to consider. The form of the review of waste disposal facilities referred to in circular 26/71 is now in course of preparation and it is hoped that the opportunity will be taken in the course of this review to assemble information about the availability of further sites with particular regard to suitability for use in schemes of planned land reclamation.
