§ Sir Hugh RossiTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) what criteria will be used to determine whether land contaminated with lead will be included in the contaminated land register;
(2) whether areas of land on which shotguns are frequently discharged will be considered for inclusion in the contaminated land register.
§ Mr. TrippierLocal authority registers of land which may be contaminated will be compiled in accordance with regulations under section 143 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. The regulations will specify contaminative uses of land. Consideration is being given to the inclusion of any use of land which results in its being contaminated with lead, including land used for shooting.
