HC Deb 21 February 1991 vol 186 c196W
Mr. Ieuan Wyn Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he has any plans to encourage the use of electromagnets at waste disposal plants.

Mr. Baldry

The potential return on the use of magnetic separation at a waste disposal plant should be enough to encourage the use of electromagnets without any Government intervention.

Nevertheless, we have made available £10 million in supplementary credit approvals for local authorities in England in 1991–92, for investment in recycling facilities.
