I call on the Minister for the Environment and Local Government to come to the House to explain a blunder in waste management plans, the intention of which is to reduce and minimise waste, not use landfill sites. However, when county councils dig up roads and remove tar, they cannot take it to a landfill site and it must be transported 30 miles to the nearest dump because it is considered a hazardous material. I would like the Minister to investigate this serious matter.
