HC Deb 17 April 2002 vol 383 c969W
Ian Stewart

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will consider changes to the landfill tax to support the achievement of the Government's waste policy. [47161]

Mr. Boateng

The landfill tax contributes to the achievement of the Government's waste targets by making waste producers take account of the environmental costs they impose when they discard waste to landfill.
