HC Deb 17 February 1994 vol 237 cc966-7W
Mr. Win Griffiths

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the substances which are safe for disposal in land.

Mr. Atkins

The Department's Waste Management Paper No. 26 gives guidance on the suitability of different types of waste for landfilling. A copy is available in the Library. The Department is currently reviewing policy in this area, taking account of the best practicable environmental option for the disposal of particular waste types, and will be issuing revised guidance in due course.
