Dr. Howells

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what assessment he has made of the environmental impact in Wales of the proposed landfill tax; and if he will make a statement. [18369]

Mr. Gwilym Jones

The landfill tax will contribute towards reducing the impact of waste on the environment by encouraging businesses and consumers to produce less waste and to recover value from more of the waste that is produced.
