HC Deb 10 May 1989 vol 152 c432W
Mr. Speller

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment whether the sewerage incinerator at Yelland, North Devon will be tested(a) to comply with EC directive 84/360, (b) under the Health and Safety (Emissions into the Atmosphere) Regulations 1983 (SI, 1983, No. 943) and (c) under the Clean Air Acts before it is permitted to operate.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

[holding answer 9 May 1989]: Because the sewage screening incinerator at Yelland has a capacity of less than 1 tonne an hour, it will be controlled for air pollution purposes by the North Devon district council; it is for the council to determine what atmospheric emission testing is required.
