§ Mr. SayeedTo ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if she will make a statement on the(a) levels and (b) mix of waste required to make a modern high-temperature incinerator commercially viable. [35396]
§ Mr. MeacherThe levels of waste that make a modern high-temperature incinerator commercially viable will depend on the gate fees charged. Its viability is likely to be enhanced by the availability of sufficient quantities of high calorific value wastes to ensure full combustion of material with lower calorific value.
