§ Mr. Maxwell-HyslopTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how the units of production will be defined to which the exemption limits for(a) degreasing solvent and (b) paint solvent will be applied.
§ Mr. BaldryMy hon. Friend is perhaps referring to industrial coating and printing processes which have been prescribed for pollution control under part I of the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
Exemption limits, expressed in terms of specified levels of annual usage of certain substances by processes 498W concerned, are set out in section 6.5 of schedule I to the Environmental Protection (Prescribed Processes and Substances) Regulations 1991. These are to be interpreted in the light of rules set out in schedule 2 to the regulations.
