§ Mr. Charles Morrisonasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps have been taken to mark the end of the first 10 years of the Oslo and Paris commissions.
§ Mr. MacGregorA book entitled "The Oslo and Paris Commissions: The First Decade — International Co-operation in Protecting Our Marine Environment" has been published by the Oslo and Paris Secretariat, New Court, 48 Carey Street, London WC2A 2JE. I have placed a copy in the Library of the House.
The book records the history of, and progress made by, the commissions over the past 10 years and contains chapters on the national policies of the contracting parties towards waste management and waste disposal. The depositing of wastes in the sea and the discharging of wastes from the land to the aquatic environment are considered in the context of overall national waste disposal strategies.
