§ Sir Hector Monro[holding answer 15 July 1993]: Information on the categories of special waste specified is not available centrally. District and islands councils in Scotland hold special waste consignment notes in respect of waste arising in their area, and may be able to provide some of this information.
§ Mr. RedmondTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland (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.
§ Sir Hector Monro[holding answer 15 July 1993]: Since 1989 the waste regulatory authorities, the district and islands councils have provided the Scottish Office with information on special waste arisings, disposals, imports, and exports. Details for 1989, 1990 and 1991 are given in the table. Figures for 1992 are not yet available.
