§ Mr. Quentin DaviesTo ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs whether licences have been issued to recycling plants before validation of plants has been completed. [133306]
§ Mr. Morley[holding answer 30 October 2003]Yes. Licences for all such plant are issued before validation, so that the plant may store fridges at the site, and abide by the duty of care. However, validation is required before the plant can begin fridge reprocessing.
