HC Deb 23 October 1985 vol 84 c175W
Mr. Canavan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what advice his officials have provided since October 1984 to local authorities regarding means other than incineration for dealing with hazardous wastes.

Mr. Ancram

My officials have provided advice to local authorities for dealing with hazardous waste on the basis of the best practical environmental option; this can involve incineration, processing, treatment or land filling. Advice has also been provided in a published series of Government waste management papers.
