HC Deb 16 February 1990 vol 167 cc441-2W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he has any plans to introduce legislation along the lines of the United States Superfund Amendments and Re-authorisation Act and the Comprehensive Environmental Response and Liability Act in regard to the requirements for the annual corporate public disclosure of toxic materials and wastes used or produced each year in the companies' activities.

Mr. Trippier

Applications for authorisations to operate industrial processes under part I of the Environmental Protection Bill will contain a wide range of detailed information. This information and monitoring data on releases of substances will be made available to the public by the authorities which enforce that legislation.
