§ Ms. WalleyTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is his policy on a worldwide ban on sea dumping by 1995; what discussions he has had regarding the proposal for such a ban by Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden at the forthcoming London dumping convention; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. CurryThe Government's policy has been to terminate dumping at sea of liquid industrial wastes and flyash in the United Kingdom as environmentally acceptable practicable alternatives on land become available. The United Kingdom will be seeking at the meeting of the London dumping convention next week to clarify the implications of the proposal made for a global ban on industrial waste dumping.
