HC Deb 21 February 1989 vol 147 c567W
Ms. Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make it his policy to fund research into the role that incineration can play in the safe disposal of used disposable nappies and sanitary towels and tampons.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

The Government already support research into incineration as a safe means of disposal of domestic wastes of which nappies and sanitary products form a very small part.
