§ Mr. EvansTo ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what plans there are for new landfill sites for the disposal of household waste in England. [85326]
§ Mr. MeacherWaste Strategy 2000 recognises that landfill will still have a role to play in any sustainable waste management system, but that it will be a much smaller role.
Local authorities should take into account the landfill diversion targets required by the Landfill Directive, to reduce the landfilling of biodegradable waste to landfill across the United Kingdom by around two-thirds in line with the timetable set out in the directive (ie by 2016, should the UK decide not to take advantage of the final four year derogation) and the recycling and recovery targets set out in WS2000.
§ Mr. EvansTo ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what estimate she has made of the proportion of household waste(a) buried in landfill sites, (b) incinerated and (c) recycled in each local authority in England. [85327]
§ Mr. MeacherLocal authorities are required to provide estimates of the proportion of household waste recycled (including composting) recovered (including incineration) and landfilled under the Best Value regime. The latest results for 2000–01 are published on the ODPM website www.bvpi.gov.uk and a copy has been placed in the Library of the House. Estimates for 2001–02 will be available shortly.
