asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when the Government propose to introduce legislation to implement the recommendations contained in the report of the working party on refuse disposal, and in particular those recommendations relating to the disposal of animal carcases contained in paragraphs 485 and 486 of the report.
Comprehensive legislation to create a new authorisation procedure for the disposal of wastes was forecast in Circular 26 issued on 27th April, 1971. The recommendations in paragraphs 485 and 486 of the report of the working party on refuse disposal need to be considered alongside those in the report of the working party on refuse storage and collection published in 1967 concerning the classification of refuse and the obligation or discretion of local authorities in relation to trade and industrial refuse. I cannot say when legislation will be introduced.
