Robert Molloy
Question:126 Mr. Molloy asked the Minister for the Environment whether the Government has signed and ratified the 1989 Basel Convention and the 1995 amendment to the convention which bans all toxic waste exports from OECD to non-OECD countries in view of the serious threat which the global trade in toxic waste poses to people and the environment; if not, when it is intended to do so; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
