Proceeding contribution from Jacqui Lait (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 28 February 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Refuse Collection.

Refuse Collection

That could well be what the Government plan to impose; we do not know. We have been told that the amount could be £30 to £50. I am no expert in the economics of the waste industry, as I hope I have made clear—the hon. Member for North Cornwall might be able to talk us through that topic—but if one were to work out the total cost of disposing of the extra waste, including the new investment in incinerators, anaerobic digesters and gas plasmification systems, that might well be the genuine cost.
