HC Deb 24 July 1991 vol 195 cc656-7W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the guidance notes on integrated pollution control issued since the Environmental Protection Act 1990 came into force.

Mr. Baldry

Comprehensive guidance was published on 28 February 1991 in "Integrated Pollution Control: A Practical Guide" which included a timetable for the issuing of chief inspector's guidance notes. Five industry sector guidance notes have been prepared: IPR 1: Fuel and Power, IPR 2: Metal, IPR 3: Mineral, IPR 4: Chemical IPR 5: Waste Disposal. Four have been published recently and IPR 4 is at the HMSO printers. The first process note IPR 1/1 "Combustion Processes for Large Boilers and Furnaces" has already been published and preparations are well advanced on the notes for the next tranche of processes coming under integrated pollution control.
