Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill

I do not really want to intervene again, but this goes back to the discussion we had before. Suppose that 11 authorities in Essex agree with the proposal and one does not. That waste has to be disposed of. These are mammoth contracts for multi-millions of pounds. What will happen? Will the waste just be left on the streets in that one authority? It is as bad as that. At times it is almost impossible to get agreement between the 12 authorities. The Government need to recognise that. Although it is very nice to say that the scheme is voluntary, there has to be some mechanism to make it work if we are ever going to dispose of all the waste, get the recycling going that we want and then have provision to get rid of the ultimate waste. The Government must realise that there might have to be some little bit of help for that one authority that would not agree to it.
