I understand that meetings took place between officials of my Department and the company in question in summer 2003 and that my predecessor, accompanied by officials, met representatives of the company early in 2004. At no point have I as Minister met the company.

My Department and I hold regular consultations with stakeholders in the context of the ongoing implementation of Government policy on waste management. This is designed to ensure that all concerns are understood and, where possible and appropriate, addressed.
