HC Deb 12 March 1991 vol 187 cc471-2W
Mr. McAllion

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment when the supplementary credit approval scheme for funding recycling projects in England and Wales was established; what funds are available to it; and over what time scale the scheme operates.

Mr. Baldry

Supplementary credit approvals for investment in recycling facilities are being made available from 1991–92 for local authorities in England only. We have made provision for a further £30 million of such supplementary credit approvals in 1992–93 and 1993–94.
