HC Deb 16 October 1996 vol 282 c1070W
Mr. Nigel Evans

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what test results are on the public register for kiln 6 at Castle Cement's Ribblesdale plant at Clitheroe when burning coal only or coal and cemfuel. [41236]

Mr. Clappison

Her Majesty's inspectorate of pollution—now the Environment Agency—carried out tests in respect of kiln 5 at Ribblesdale plant. Since kiln 6 is a similar kiln, the inspectorate did not consider it necessary to carry out tests for that kiln also. There are therefore no test results in the public register in relation to kiln 6, but all test results for kiln 5 are in the register.

Mr. Evans

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how much pet coke has been burnt in kilns at Ribblesdale—Castle Cement, Clitheroe—in each year since 1990; and in which kilns. [41237]

Mr. Clappison

No pet coke has been burnt at the Ribblesdale plant since 1990.
