HC Deb 01 July 1975 vol 894 cc366-7W
Mr. Clemitson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment which of the waste disposal sites listed in the answer given to the hon. Member for Consett (Mr. Watkins) on 27th April as representing a potentially serious risk are situated in areas for which geological survey maps are not publicly obtainable.

Mr. Denis Howell

None. Five of the 53 sites are shown on New Series Geological maps which can be bought through Ordnance Survey Agents; dye-line or photographic copies of maps showing the others—42 on 6 in. and six on Old Series 1 in.—can be obtained from the London and Leeds offices of the Institute of Geological Sciences. All the maps can be inspected at these two offices, and at many public and university libraries.
