§ Mr. Malcolm BruceTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what advice his Department offers to those industries seeking to dispose of pharmaceutical wastes.
§ Mr. TrippierMy Department has issued general guidance on the disposal of pharmaceutical waste in waste management paper No. 19—"Wastes from the Manufacture of Pharmaceuticals, Toiletries and Cosmetics." However, advice on the disposal of specific pharmaceutical wastes is best obtained from the appropriate waste disposal authority as the body statutorily responsible for regulating waste disposal in its area.
