§ Angela SmithTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will list the circumstances under which mink carcases may be disposed of at(a) landfill sites and (b) incinerators. [90074]
§ Mr. Rooker[holding answer 15 July 1999]: The Animal By-Products Order 1999 requires animal by-products, such as mink carcases, to be disposed of by one of a number of routes including incineration. Burial, including landfill, is permitted only where the animal by-product is in a place where access is difficult or where the quantity of by-product and the distance to premises in which disposal is otherwise permitted do not justify transporting it.
