To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what level of tax relief has been provided for land decontamination in each(a) nation and (b) region of the UK. [65067]

Where qualifying conditions are met, waste arising from the reclamation of contaminated land is exempted from landfill tax wherever in the United Kingdom it is landfilled.
