To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what representations he has received concerning the burning of orimulsion; and to which power stations they relate.

I have received a number of representations concerning the burning or proposed burning of orimulsion generally and at individual power stations such as Pembroke and Ince. A considerable number have also been received by Her Majesty's inspectorate of pollution in respect of applications for authorisation under part I of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 to burn orimulsion at Padiham and Pembroke power stations.
