Mr. Flook: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs where funds diverted to the Treasury from the
Landfill Tax Credit Scheme since 2003 have been spent, broken down by (a) region and (b) project. [184643]
Mr. Morley: As part of the reform of the Landfill Tax Credit Scheme approximately £84/92/92 million has been allocated to
sustainable waste management in England (£100/110/110 million to the UK as a whole) for the financial years 2003-04, 2004-05
and 2005-06. A new public expenditure programme, delivered jointly by Defra and the Waste and Resources Action Programme, has been
established for England. The new Waste Implementation Programme is designed to accelerate progress towards meeting the landfill
directive targets.
The Waste Implementation Programme is taking forward a package of strategic measures recommended by the Strategy Unit in "Waste Not
Want Not", published in November 2002. Key areas of action so far (including indicative three-year funding allocations) include the
following:
£ million
_________________________________________________________________________________________________.
Project Budget allocation
Four programmes for waste minimisation 40
Kerbside taskforce to help local authorities maximise potential 15
for kerbside collection of recyclables and to boost the recycling
of organic materials
Programme for education and awareness 30
Two programmes for data and research 22
Programme of development of new technologies, including pilots 37
Programmes designed to help local authorities with their recycling 10
strategies, and ensure they are offered targeted assistance
_________________________________________________________________________________________________.
In addition to these programmes, the Waste Implementation Programme contributed £29 million in 2003-04 and 2004-05 to boost
Defra's Waste Minimisation and Recycling ("Challenge") Fund. This fund provides project-based funding to local authorities to enable
them to roll out high-quality recycling and home composting schemes in their area.
The Waste Implementation Programme has also provided £20 million in targeted grants to local authorities in 2004-05. This
grant is designed to reduce the pressure faced by councils to fund services such as waste management through increases in council
tax.

Mr. Flook: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs how much money raised under the Landfill Tax Credit
Scheme has been diverted from local environmental trust distributors to the Treasury. [184644]
Mr. Morley: As part of the reform of the Landfill Tax Credit Scheme, approximately £84 million, £92 million and
£92 million was allocated to a new public expenditure programme in England (the Waste Implementation Programme) for the
financial years 2003-04, 2004-05 and 2005-06. The purpose of this programme is to take action to enable local authorities and others
to meet the requirements of Article 5 of the EU Landfill Directive to reduce the amount of biodegradable municipal waste landfilled.
Under the reformed Landfill Tax Credit Scheme approximately £47 million a year continues to be available for spending on
local community environmental projects in England.
