Proceeding contribution from Andrew Jones (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 26 October 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Incinerators.

Incinerators

Let me add my concerns to the debate about Allerton Park. The financial case for the proposal at Allerton Park is deeply flawed. The proposed incinerator will require 300,000 tonnes of waste a year, yet the household waste generated across North Yorkshire will not reach that level. That means that the incinerator will have to take commercial waste; there is nothing wrong with that, but it means that the risk will be with the local taxpayer, and the gain will be with the incinerator operators.
