Clause 22 - ''Landfill''
Waste and Emissions Trading Bill [Lords]
9:45 am
Mr Norman Baker (Lewes, Liberal Democrat)
I understand what the Minister is saying, but he will accept that there is a difference between regulations and primary legislation, especially in the seriousness attached to such proposals—[Interruption.] He does not accept that. I accept it, however, which is why I make the point.
The question is this. The Minister appears to be putting forward the happy suggestion that a temperature of 70º will destroy all harmful pathogens but not the beneficial nature of the material. Does he mean that a lower temperature will destroy everything harmful but not that which is beneficial?
