FUNDING FOR LINCOLNSHIRE'S DISPOSAL OF REFRIGERATORS

EDM number 348 in 2002-03, proposed by John Hayes on 10/12/2002.

That this House notes that the Government proposes to fund the additional costs to Lincolnshire County Council, as a result of implementing Article 16(2) of EC Regulation 2037/00 on Ozone Depleting Substances, in the period from 1st April 2002 to 31st March 2003, by means of a special grant allocation of ú398,927; further notes that the estimated actual cost by Lincolnshire County Council for the storage and disposal of redundant refrigerators during this time period is ú497,640, and that in addition to the estimated cost to East Lindsey District Council, and South Holland District Council of ú42,000 and ú14,677, respectively, unknown costs for the collection of redundant refrigerators are also being incurred by Boston Borough Council, Lincoln City Council, North Kesteven District Council, South Kesteven District Council, and West Lindsey District Council; recognises thereby that the total extra cost in Lincolnshire County Council is in excess of ú554,317; and, in view of the statement by the Minister for the Environment, the Right honourable member for Oldham West and Royton on local authority funding that 'We are ... taking the realistic view that if extra duties are imposed they should be reasonably funded. That is the Government's policy', (Official Report, 14th January, c125), and calls upon the Government to make clear how it intends to fund the shortfall in Lincolnshire County Council which will not be less than ú155,390.

This motion has been signed by a total of 23 MPs.
