HC Deb 17 February 1986 vol 92 c38W
Mr. Livsey

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what representations he has received about the possible risks associated with the shipment of the chemical polychlorinated biphenyls from Western Australia to an incineration plant in Pontypool, South Wales; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Rumbold

I have received no representations about the possible risks associated with the shipment of polychlorinated biphenyls from Western Australia to the ReChem incineration plant at Pontypool, but I am aware that my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Wales has received a letter from the hon. Member for Torfaen, expressing his concern.
