HC Deb 12 July 2002 vol 388 c1241W
Mr. Lazarowic

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will set aside funds in the comprehensive spending review to invest in waste minimisation. [68670]

Mr. Boateng

Spending Review 2002 is still under way, and until its completion it would be premature to comment on specific elements.

Waste growth is part of the broader challenge of reforming waste management in the UK. The Performance and Innovation Unit is currently undertaking a thorough review of waste policy, and waste minimisation is one of the issues that the Performance and Innovation Unit will address in their forthcoming report.
