Mr. Hancock: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what the destination was of garden waste collected from residents’ homes by each waste collection authority in Hampshire in the latest period for which figures are available. [176883]

Joan Ruddock: All local authorities report the destination of their collected municipal waste to WasteDataFlow. The table shows the reported destinations of green waste or other compostable waste (both categories will include waste from gardens) sent for composting by Hampshire county council and its waste collection authorities during January to March 2007.

The destination list in WasteDataFlow that authorities can report against is populated by the Environment Agency’s lists of licensed sites. These are identified as the location (by postcode) along with the waste processor that owns the site. Some material will go to sites which are exempt from a waste management licence. These are identified as ‘Other/exempt’ in the list. In these cases, further details on the location of destination sites are not recorded.

Wastes

Martin Horwood: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what his estimate is of the percentage of waste generated in the UK by (a) business and (b) households in each of the last five years; and what his future projections are of these figures for the next five years. [173671]

Joan Ruddock: Waste management is a devolved matter, so the following data are for England only.

The Environment Agency’s 2002-03 commercial and industrial waste survey is the most comprehensive and up-to-date evidence on the sources, quantities and management of commercial and industrial waste in England. No comparable data are available for other years.

The total commercial and industrial waste arisings in 2002-03 (including the hazardous waste stream) was estimated at 67.9 million tonnes, comprising 37.6 million tonnes from industrial sources (14 per cent. of total waste arisings) and 30.3 million tonnes from commercial sources (11 per cent. of total waste arisings).

Household waste arisings made up a total of 10 per cent. of the total waste arisings in 2002-03. Since total
28 Jan 2008 : Column 91W
waste arisings in other years is not known, percentage figures for these years cannot be provided.

Forecasts of future waste arisings, in both the household and business sectors in England, are set out in Annex A (Appendix 1) of the Waste Strategy for England 2007, copies of which are available from the Library of the House. Figures take account of a variety of scenarios using a range of assumptions to reflect possible demographic, economic and lifestyle changes that will influence waste arisings—quite apart from the influence of specific policies.

Water: Fees and Charges

Mr. Pickles: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what the average water bill in (a) England and Wales and (b) each water company area was for a household with (i) a single person, (ii) a family of three on a meter and (iii) a family of five on a meter in the latest period for which figures are available. [176527]

Mr. Woolas: Ofwat is the economic regulator of the water and sewerage industry in England and Wales and sets price limits for each water company at price reviews.

Figures are available on the Ofwat website at:

Home Department

Animal Experiments

Mr. Jenkins: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many laboratories (a) were licensed and (b) lost their licence to perform tests on animals in each of the last five years for which figures are available. [179493]

Meg Hillier: The information requested is set out in the following table.

Certificates of designation may be revoked for a variety of reasons, such as the closure of the establishment, and revocation is usually at the request of the certificate holder. Issues of non-compliance with the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986, or their conditions of issue, were identified at two establishments prior to the return of their certificates for revocation since 2003.
