§ Mr. Llew SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what factors underlay the omission from the section on waste in his Environmental Agenda for Wales of any discussion or guidance on his policy on the import of toxic waste into Wales for treatment or incineration.
§ Mr. Gwilym JonesThe Environmental Agenda for Wales sets out my right hon. Friends main objectives and priorities for the Welsh environment. It promotes practical greenery, such as energy efficiency and recycling at home and in the workplace, using reclaimed land for development, and other measures aimed at protecting the environment without stifling essential economic development. The import of waste is an international issue, which is fully covered in other Government statements, for example, a draft UK plan on imports and exports of waste was issued for consultation on 3 February.
