HC Deb 29 October 1976 vol 918 c424W
Mr. Sims

asked the Secretary of State for Industry whether his Department's Warren Spring Laboratory is carrying out research into the effects of the non-biodegradation of rubbish contained in plastic sacks when buried in council tips.

Mr. Les Huckfield

No. Containing rubbish in plastic sacks is unlikely to prevent biodegradation.
