§ Mr. WaldegraveThe information requested is published annually by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy in its publication "Waste Disposal Statistics".
Its "1983–84 Actuals" contains the latest figures and shows that the average cost of waste disposal for English county waste disposal authorities in 1983–84 was £7.60 per tonne.
