British Scrap Federation

HC Deb 28 February 1994 vol 238 c555W

Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment which of his Department's officials have attended the half-yearly dinners of the British Scrap Federation in each year since 1993; and what positions they held at the time.

Mr. Atkins

Although the British Scrap Federation hold half-yearly annual dinners in the spring and the autumn, it is only the autumn dinner that is normally attended by outside guests. Mrs. L. A. C. Simcock, head of waste management division in the Department, attended the dinner last November.
