HC Deb 30 March 2000 vol 347 cc260-1W
Mr. Baker

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will extend the landfill tax provisions in so far as they relate to making available funds to local communities for energy from waste plants. [116780]

Mr. Timms

Operators of landfill sites who are registered for landfill tax may claim for tax credits for contributions that they make to support environmental projects. These may include research for the purpose of encouraging the use of more sustainable waste management. Landfill site operators may choose to support research into energy from waste as part of such projects.
