§ 44. Mr. Hal Millerasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many directions for the control of tipping he has approved under Article 4 of the 707W General Development Order; and if he will make a statement on the means he proposes to prevent the practice of tipping material other than topsoil on agricultural land.
§ Mr. Denis HowellThis information is not available. Local authorities have powers to control tipping, and these will be further strengthened when the licensing provisions of the Control of Pollution Act 1974 come into operation next year.
