Animal By-products (Hansard, 11 March 2003)

§ Mr. Weir
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what additional resources have been available to local authorities to enable them to police the disposal of animal by-products material in each of the last five years. [100814]

§ Mr. Morley
[holding answer 4 March 2003]: No additional resources have been made available to local authorities to enable them to police the disposal of animal by-products.
However, we are continuing to fund additional work undertaken by local authorities as a result of the foot and mouth disease outbreak. This may, by implication, include enforcement work regarding the disposal of animal by-products e.g. disposal of carcases.

§ Andrew George
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (1) if she will make a statement on the animal carcase(a) rendering and (b) incineration industries and the market share of companies involved within them; [101262]
(2) what recent representations and discussions she has had regarding the (a) rendering and (b) animal carcase and animal products incineration industry with (i) individuals, (ii) lobby groups, (iii) companies and (iv) other bodies. [101261]

§ Mr. Morley
The Department regulates outlets that deal with animal by-products, such as rendering and incineration plants. Officials are, therefore, involved in regular discussions with those industries and other interested parties, both informally and on a more formal, consultative basis.
The Department does not hold information regarding the market share of the companies involved in the animal by-product industry.

§ Andrew George
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if she will list those companies with which her Department and its agencies have signed contracts to incinerate animal carcases under the over 30 months scheme in each year since 1996. [191266]
