I propose to take Questions Nos. 212 and 213 together.
The making of waste services charges is a matter for individual local authorities engaged in the direct provision of waste collection services and for private providers of such services. Consequently my Department has not collated the information sought in respect of the years 2003 and 2004. However, in the context of the move to a pay-by-use system of charging, my Department is now compiling details of service provision and charges in each local authority area. When this work is shortly completed, I will arrange to have the information forwarded to the Deputy.
