HC Deb 21 March 1990 vol 169 c682W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what proposals he has to encourage the environmentally friendly recycling of redundant motor vehicle tyres.

Mr. Heathcoat-Amory

My hon. Friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Industry and Consumer Affairs is expecting to receive very shortly a final report by KPMG Peat Marwick identifying ways of reducing the volume of scrapped vehicle tyres and increasing resource recovery. When he receives the report he will set up a working party, in conjunction with my Department, with industry, local authority and voluntary group representation, to draw up an action plan.
