Protection of the Environment Bill 2003: Second Stage (Resumed).

 

The ongoing public subsidy for recycling should remain in place. Capital grants alone will not be enough. Recycling is loss-making on a year to year basis, but I note from reports from the United States that the cost of recycling is in excess of 33% cheaper than incineration. I ask the Minister to bear that in mind when he is advocating the use of incinerators, because householders will be obliged to foot the bill.
