HC Deb 11 July 1973 vol 859 cc344-8W
51. Mr. John

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the local authorities which have failed to supply him with information regarding tips or quarries in their areas in or on which chemical wastes are or have been dumped.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

My Department initiated a review of all waste disposal facilities in England in April 1972, which will among other things indicate where chemical wastes are being tipped. This review is being undertaken jointly by the local authorities and the Institute of Geological Sciences and the river authorities which are contributing a preliminary assessment of any pollution risks. We have reminded the authorities to complete their returns on two occasions—most recently on June 27th—but at present there would appear to be returns still outstanding from 245 authorities.

The following is a list of these English authorities:
