HC Deb 19 July 1993 vol 229 cc56-63W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) if he will list by year, for the last five years, and by county, the number of tonnes of special waste arisings and deposits;

(2) if he will list, by year for the last five years, and by county, the number of tonnes of special waste arising (a) within the county and deposited within the county, (b) within the county and exported out of the county and (c) outside the county and deposited within the county.

Mr. Yeo

The tables below show the amounts of special waste arising within the English counties, the amounts imported to and exported from each county, and the amount deposited in each county since 1987–88. Special wastes may be imported and re-exported as part of the treatment and disposal process. The information available on exports and deposits does not identify the sources of the waste.

Figures relate to financial years ending 31 March, and are in tonnes. In 1987–88 and 1988–89 not all counties provided returns. We have revised the figures for those years that were published in the "Digest of Environmental Protection Water Statistics No. 15 (1992)" following further validation exercises.
