To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what representations he has received in regard to the plans by ReChem to import dioxin-contaminated wastes from Hamburg for incineration at Pontypool, Gwent; and what communications he has had with his German counterpart on the subject.

The Welsh Office has received four letters relating to imports of waste from Germany. The German Government have been made aware of the United Kingdom's policy of self-sufficiency in final disposal for developed countries.
