UK Toxic Waste Exports
EDM number 706 in 1993-94, proposed by Alan Meale on 01/03/1994.
That this House is alarmed to learn that in 1992 over 80,000 tonnes of toxic waste was exported from Britain to developing countries and Eastern Europe; is most concerned that when such waste reaches developing countries it is often processed in polluted and dangerous establishments with consequential harmful effects on the local environment and the health of workers and local people; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to support a ban on all exports of toxic waste to developing countries or Eastern Europe, whether for disposal or recycling.
This motion has been signed by a total of 64 MPs.
