§ Mr. Heathcoat-AmoryNo. I understand that the relevant waste disposal authority, Humberside county council, has considered the environmental aspects of this company's operations and is pursuing appropriate courses of action under the Control of Pollution Act. HMIP is aware of the situation and is in touch with the waste disposal authority. I also understand that the HSE has not been involved at this site. From the information available, it is unclear whether the HSE or the local district council will be the relevant enforcing authority for the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act.
