HC Deb 24 February 1981 vol 999 c332W
Mr. Scott

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will list in the Official Report the licensed waste disposal pits in England and Wales.

Mr. Giles Shaw

The licensing of waste disposal sites is a matter for the waste disposal authorities concerned—county councils and the GLC in England, district councils in Wales—which are required to maintain a register of licensed sites. In view of the several thousand sites involved, the information is not available centrally.
