HC Deb 23 July 1981 vol 9 c231W
Dr. Edmund Marshall

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what response has been received from the Dutch authorities to inquiries made about consignments of industrial waste imported from the Netherlands for storage in the United Kingdom during recent months.

Mr. Giles Shaw

The Dutch authorities have provided information about their Chemical Waste Act, its application in the case in question and the process which produced the waste. This information is now being considered in the context of the current review of controls over imports of waste into the United Kingdom.
