Protection of the Environment Bill 2003: Second Stage (Resumed).
All the regional waste management plans were undertaken by a small number of consultants who in some instances were working for people operating incinerators or applying for permission to do so. I have no doubt that some of them have been, or will be, consultants for some of the applicants who may come before us. There is a severe conflict of interest involved in that process which is flawed as a consequence.
