HL Deb 17 April 2002 vol 633 cc158-9WA
Baroness Andrews

asked Her Majesty's Government:

When they intend to launch a consultation on the future of the landfill tax credit scheme. [HL3838]

Lord Whitty

The Government are today publishing a consultation paper on the future of the landfill tax credit scheme. It seeks views on the priorities for funding from revenue currently spent through the landfill tax credit scheme, the merits of different funding mechanisms and any transitional arrangements. The results will feed into the decisions to be made as part of Spending Review 2002.

Copies of the consultation paper will be available from the House Libraries or from the Defra website: ww.defra.gov.uk.
