§ Mr. Walter Johnsonasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if Her Majesty's Government, as an experiment, will set up an official tip in the Midlands with fully qualified staff to deal with the 98W dumping of toxic waste and with a reclamation plant on site.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerThe capability of industry and local authorities to secure satisfactory disposal of toxic wastes might best be considered in the light of information obtained in due course as a result of the notification procedure under the Deposit of Poisonous Waste Act. Greater provision of treatment and reclamation plant is clearly desirable, and I hope that local planning authorities will give every assistance to waste disposal firms which wish to establish themselves to meet particular demands.
