To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what recent representations he has received on the use of alternative fuels for the production of cement. [100023]

The use of alternative fuels for the production of cement has raised a significant amount of public interest. The Department has received a number of representations from local communities where cement kilns are situated, environmental pressure groups, as well as representations from the cement industry itself.
