Clause 22 - ''Landfill''
Waste and Emissions Trading Bill [Lords]
9:30 am
Mr John Hayes (South Holland and The Deepings, Conservative)
The hon. Gentleman is right, which is precisely why the Bill must refer to such issues. I, too, am interested in them. Indeed, a composter in my constituency does much of what the hon. Gentleman described. If we ignore such things in the Bill, we shall send out the wrong signal, just as we shall if we restrict or over-regulate the industry. For the reasons that he gave, we must strike a balance in our approach to waste and composting.
