Written Question
Hazardous Substances: Waste Disposal
Wednesday 3rd April 2024

Asked by: Ellie Reeves (Labour - Lewisham West and East Dulwich)

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, which hazardous military waste materials are prohibited from being put into landfill as of 21 March 2024.

Answered by James Cartlidge - Shadow Secretary of State for Defence

There are no derogations, exemptions or disapplications for defence activities within waste legislation. Therefore, hazardous military waste is dealt with in the same way as non-military hazardous waste. Hazardous waste prohibited from landfill, of relevance to Ministry of Defence activities, includes liquid waste and waste that would be explosive, corrosive, oxidising, flammable or highly flammable.
