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

 

I made it clear when speaking about the national spatial strategy that councillors should realise their regions can gain an edge when trying to attract jobs and businesses. An integrated waste management strategy is at the top of the agenda of companies seeking to invest here. Companies will not invest in the country, let alone in the regions, if we do not have such strategies, as they would be unable to function under national and international laws without those strategies. It is bite the bullet time. The debate is over. We have the plans and it is a matter of implementing them.
