§ Mr. James Hillasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will take steps to set up a toxic waste advisory group to advise local authorities and industry on the safe disposal of all toxic chemicals.
§ Mr. Eldon GriffithsRecruitment to new professional posts in the Directorate General and Water Engineering in my Department is already in hand to enable any necessary advice to be given.
