HC Deb 07 July 1988 vol 136 c654W
Mr. Rost

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy if, under his privatisation proposals, electricity generated from municipal and industrial waste will be classified as non-fossil-fuelled generating capacity.

Mr. Michael Spicer

Although the details are still under discussion, I propose that when the non-fossil fuel obligation is set, waste should be classified as a non-fossil fuel, in line with other renewable sources and nuclear energy.
