HC Deb 28 July 1998 vol 317 c115W
Mr. Sheerman

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what measures he will take to evaluate the effectiveness of the materials recycling facilities in use in the United Kingdom. [52821]

Angela Eagle

Our consultation paper,Less Waste More Value, invited views on whether the waste management industry has the necessary capabilities to develop the full range of facilities that will be required in the future (including materials recycling facilities). Consultees have until 25 September to respond. It is for the operators of these facilities themselves to reach a judgment of how effective they are.
