HC Deb 22 June 1995 vol 262 c339W
Mr. Sheerman

To ask the Chairman of the Administration Committee what steps are being taken to increase the amount of recycling of all types of waste product by the Houses of Parliament.

Mr. Michael J. Martin

The policy of the two Houses is to recycle all waste matter which can reasonably be segregated and recycled. The process is audited to ensure compliance with the Palace's waste collection contract. Waste which is unsuitable for recycling is taken to an authorised landfill site for disposal. Further segregation before collection is precluded by space and staffing constraints.
