§ Mr. Abseasked the Secretary of State for the Environment, pursuant to the answer of 15 April, Official Report, c. 464, if, in view of public anxiety in Pontypool and elsewhere, he will make it his policy not to permit in any circumstances the import of toxic waste emanating from the Seveso plant; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Giles ShawLittle is known about the nature or current location of this waste and no formal requests to receive it have been made to the United Kingdom Government. The question of its entry into the United Kingdom is therefore hypothetical, but it would certainly be an unwelcome import.
