To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs pursuant to the answer of 17 January 2008, Official Report, columns 1393-94W, on waste disposal: fees and charges, if he will place in the Library a copy of the separate study with information on larger households referred to in the answer. (178689)

I am arranging for a copy of the study requested to be placed in the House Library.

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what the planned timetable is for the (a) running and (b) evaluation of waste charging pilots. (183275)

For question (a), I refer the hon. Member to the answer given to the hon. Member for Brentwood and Ongar (Mr. Pickles) on 14 January 2007, Official Report, column 871W.

For question (b), the timetable for evaluation of the pilot household waste incentive schemes (including those which have a charging element) will in turn be dependent on their start date. As can be seen in the Climate Change Bill, we have committed to report back to Parliament on each of the pilots and we will do so when we have gathered sufficiently robust evidence.
