Speaking in the House of Commons on 23 April 2026

Debate

EnvironmentAL Audit Committee

Contribution

I congratulate my hon. Friend and his Committee on their important and timely report, on an issue that we know all too well in Redditch from our new fire and police hub. What we found reflects the report’s findings. Large-scale contamination was discovered on the site. While that has now successfully been remediated, the work relied on containment rather than destruction, echoing many of the Committee’s findings. I understand that the Committee heard that UK destruction capacity is extremely limited and largely reliant on high-temperature incineration. Does my hon. Friend agree that this local example in Redditch underlines the urgency of expanding safe, scalable destruction capability beyond incineration alone?
