answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/12/2014 answer text <p>The latest statistical data published by Defra this November, which can be found at the link below, shows that local authority managed waste going for incineration with energy recovery was 6.2 million tonnes in 2013/14 in England. This could increase to around 7.6 million tonnes in 2014/15 based on capacity that is operational or in construction. Defra does not hold the equivalent data for Wales.</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/375945/Statistics_Notice_Nov_2014_Final__3_.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/375945/Statistics_Notice_Nov_2014_Final__3_.pdf</a></p> answering member constituency North Cornwall answering member printed Dan Rogerson question first answered 08/12/2014 17:17:13 answering member 1504 label Biography information for Dan Rogerson

This consultation also sought information on available and planned recovery and disposal capacity.</p><p>Current capacity for treating/disposing of APCr is estimated at around 400,000 tonnes. Of this capacity, 47% was for disposal in landfill for hazardous waste.</p><p>Based upon the consultation responses, capacity for treating/disposing of APCr is estimated to rise to more than 700,000 tonnes by the end of 2016, 38% of which would be for disposal in landfills for hazardous waste.</p> answering member constituency North Cornwall answering member printed Dan Rogerson question first answered 08/12/2014 17:22:38 answering member 1504 label Biography information for Dan Rogerson

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if she will estimate the amount of dioxin and furan that would be dispersed into the domestic built environment from recovered air pollution control residues as a consequence of the Environment Agency accepting End of Waste status for use in breeze blocks if the derogation in the waste framework directive allowing air pollution control residues to be disposed to hazardous landfill is removed.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/12/2014 answer text <p>The Environment Agency considers that some concrete block products from a particular process containing air pollution controls residues (APCr) are no longer waste. The environmental risk assessment for this was for a bound use of the APCr in blocks, rather than unbound. Research supporting the case showed that, bound within the block, measurable levels were not released. Where blocks were drilled, the exposure level of dioxins into the air was below World Health Organisation exposure limits.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency North Cornwall answering member printed Dan Rogerson question first answered 08/12/2014 17:16:37 answering member 1504 label Biography information for Dan Rogerson

A major refurbishment of the York office (2008) included solar thermal panels.</p><p>The Department’s London headquarters building, Nobel House, was refurbished in 2012. The building had previously been assessed, in 2010, for renewable energy technologies but was not considered suitable due to the building’s position, aspect and listed status.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North Cornwall answering member printed Dan Rogerson question first answered 08/12/2014 16:31:55 answering member 1504 label Biography information for Dan Rogerson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/12/2014 answer text <p>I had a constructive discussion on the potential for developing futures markets at the Dairy Supply Chain Forum on 19 November. There is scope to develop some of the embryonic markets we already have in skimmed milk powder in the UK. By building on what currently exists and by improving accessibility, it may help to manage the inherent volatility in the marketplace. Membersof the Dairy Supply Chain Forum are exploring how this could be achieved and the NFU will report on progress in the New Year. These issues are also being explored through the joint Defra/Industry Farming Resilience Group, which I chair. The next meeting will take place in January 2015.</p><p> </p><p>On its website, DairyCo provides domestic dairy farmers with a range of educational materials and guidance on futures markets and other forms of price risk management.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 08/12/2014 14:09:34 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
