HC Deb 14 March 1994 vol 239 c524W
Mr. Ron Davies

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will make a statement on the progress made in Welsh local authorities towards the recycling of 25 per cent. of household waste.

Mr. Redwood

Information relating to the numbers of bottle banks and amounts of glass collected by local authorities has been published in the 1992 series of the "Environmental Digest for Wales". Definitive information on other aspects of recycling will not be available until all authorities finalise their recycling plans under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.

Mr. Ron Davies

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what plans he has to allow supplementary credit approvals to be used for recycling investment.

Mr. Redwood

Local authorities may apply for grant and supplementary credit approvals for waste recycling facilities under the strategic development scheme.
