To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, pursuant to his answer of 19 May, to the hon. Member for Blaenau Gwent (Mr. Smith),Official Report, column 70, if he will make a further statement on decisions taken on mundic concrete following the 6 April meeting.

Mr. Baldry

[holding answer 5 June 1992]: Following the 6 April meeting, technical experts met in Cornwall on 28 April and reached agreement on screening tests for distinguishing mundic material. Work continues on finalising the sampling procedures for identifying harmful aggregates. It is expected that guidance notes covering these matters will be published later this year. It is hoped that the information and guidance in these notes will assist in reducing the number of blighted properties.
