HC Deb 20 December 1990 vol 183 cc254-5W
Mr. Cryer

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is his Department's policy on promoting the use of recycled materials and renewable energies where relevant to his Department's activities.

Mr. Kenneth Carlisle

The Government's policy on the use of recycled materials and renewable energy is set out in the White Paper, "This Common Inheritance" (Cm 1200). The MOD is about to bring into use a further range of recycled stationery. We aim to send for recycling non-hazardous waste which can be beneficially recycled without disproportionate cost.

We have a long-standing record on the pursuit of energy efficiency and we monitor developments in the field of renewable energy technology. We are studying sites in the United Kingdom which may have potential for wind powered electricity generation.
