HC Deb 25 April 1985 vol 77 cc512-3W
Mr. Kirkwood

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will list in the Official Report specific new proposals to be implemented by the new Minister for waste; and what funding is available to finance the proposals.

Mr. Trippier

I have been appointed to undertake a coordinating role, not to take on the responsibilities of other Departments concerned with recycling.

In my new role, I shall, of course, be consulting other Departments and other interested parties. Any new proposals which emerge, and involving financial support from the Government, will be contained within existing public expenditure programmes
