Mr. Sheerman: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many tons of (a) mining and (b) quarrying waste is produced in
the United Kingdom every year.[21734]
Mr. Clappison: The best available estimates of production of waste materials from mineral extraction in the United Kingdom between
1985 and 1994 are summarised below. Wastes produced by deep mining of coal have fallen steadily since 1985 and in 1994 amounted to
only 40 per cent. of the weight produced in 1985. Wastes from other mining and quarrying activity rose by 38 per cent. between 1985
and 1988 and then fell back to 1985 levels by 1992. Since 1992 they have risen again.

Mr. Sheerman: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what joint working groups he has established with the mining and
quarrying industries on the subject of mining and quarrying waste.[21735]
Mr. Clappison: There have been two formal joint working groups in the past to look at disposal of quarrying spoil and underground
stowage in North-East Leicestershire. Other mining and quarrying issues, including waste, are covered in less formal discussions
between the Department, the mining and quarrying industries and other interested parties where necessary as they arise.
