HC Deb 05 April 1977 vol 929 c400W
Mr. Gordon Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will report on progress in connection with the enforcement of Section 2 of the Control of Pollution Act 1974.

Mr. McElhone

My right hon. Friend is discussing with the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities when it might be possible to bring into operation certain waste disposal provisions of the Control of Pollution Act, including Section 2, which has been precluded so far by the staff and expenditure it would entail.
