§ Mr. Llew SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what estimate he has made of the annual value of the trade in waste.
§ Mr. EggarI have been asked to reply.
The total value of United Kingdom trade for trade commodity headings containing an element of waste was £770 million in exports and £1,090 million in imports during 1991. The vast majority of this material was non-hazardous.
