Mr. Moorman

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he expects to announce the results of the inquiry into the proposed development of dumping at Pitsea tip, Essex; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Guy Barnett

A public inquiry into appeals by Land Reclamation Company Ltd. against enforcement notices, served by Basildon district council, in relation to use of land at Pitsea for disposal of waste was held for four weeks from 7 November by an inspector appointed by my right hon. Friend. When the inspector's report is received it will be carefully considered and my right hon. Friend will issue his decision as soon as practicable.
