HC Deb 28 February 1991 vol 186 c591W
Mr. Janman

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what considerations he has given to the implications of EC competition policy when drafting emission control regulations, in particular those affecting small-scale users of coal or refuse-derived fuel; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Baldry

[holding answer 27 February 1991]: My hon. Friend is aware that we are taking appropriate advantage of the derogation in the municipal waste incineration directive. Controls on the small-scale burning of coal and refuse-derived fuel are currently being drafted.
