The Waste Incinerators Bill would halt new waste incinerator projects unless substantial construction has already begun. It also introduces a tax on waste that is incinerated and stops local authorities from entering contracts that penalise suppliers if a minimum amount of waste isn’t delivered, with other related measures to govern waste incineration.
The bill is currently at the second reading in the House of Commons. If it progresses, it would move to committee stage, then further readings, and potentially to the House of Lords for consideration.
