At Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday, November 5 Westbury MP Andrew Murrison was one of the backbench MPs selected at random by ballot to pose a question to the deputy PM, David Lammy.
“Burning waste is as polluting as burning coal, and we already have incinerator over capacity,” he told the House.
“So when will this government renew the last government’s pause on new incinerators?
“When will it end perverse deliver or pay contracts within incinerator companies?
“And when will it deliver an incineration tax, like the landfill tax, to encourage waste reduction, reuse, and recycling?”
