26. Mr. Tony Lloyd

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what plans he has to introduce further controls on handling of hazardous waste.

Following extensive consultation we announced our conclusions and intention to legislate on 29 June. A further consultation paper was issued on 23 November. A review of the special waste regulations is well advanced and we expect to consult on this early next year.
