HC Deb 24 April 2001 vol 367 c223W
Mr. Simon Thomas

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how much of Wales' waste has been recycled for each of the last five years. [156349]

Mr. Paul Murphy

Figures for Wales alone are available only in respect of municipal waste. These are as follows:

  • 1996/97–4 per cent.
  • 1997/98–4 per cent.
  • 1998/99–5 per cent.

Information on recycling since 1 July 1999 is a matter for the National Assembly for Wales.
