Gasplasma Process

Mr. Martyn Jones
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of gasplasma process technology in treating domestic waste; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Bradshaw
No assessment of gasplasma process technology as a mechanism to treat domestic waste has been made by this Department.

However, the Department is aware of the technology and my officials have recently attended a demonstration of its use.
