Protection of the Environment Bill 2003: Second Stage (Resumed).
I am disappointed with the section of the Bill which appears to provide for the Minister to remove powers from local councils. I have faith in the attitude of the majority of local councillors who have drawn up waste management plans and taken tough decisions on waste management charges. My crib is that we are not giving central leadership or making a final and defiant decision as to what types of waste management systems should be put in place.
