Mr. Bennett

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, pursuant to his answer of 5 March,Official Report, column 101, at what intervals chief inspector's guidance notes are reviewed; and when the chief inspector will next issue guidance notes on meeting the requirements of the hazardous waste incineration directive.

Mr. Clappison

Chief inspector's guidance notes on processes subject to integrated pollution control are reviewed every four years, or sooner where developments in pollution abatement techniques or technology warrant it.

Revisions to chief inspector's guidance notes for the waste disposal and recycling sector are due to be published in May/June 1996; revised guidance dealing with incineration processes is expected in June, and will give guidance on meeting the requirements of the hazardous waste incineration directive.
