HC Deb 01 May 1985 vol 78 c161W
20. Mr. Lord

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will make a further statement on the responsibilities of his hon. Friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State as Minister with co-ordinating responsibilities for recycling and reclamation.

Mr. Trippier

I will have a particular responsibility for identifying any inconsistencies or omissions in Government policy towards recycling and reclamation, but I will not have decision making powers in areas which are properly the responsibility of other Ministers.
