Deputy Flouquet responds to Deputy Dudley-Owen’s Amendment on the Waste Hierarchy
September 30th, 2010 by Bernard Flouquet
“As Deputy Dudley-Owen said it is a complicated issue that we are discussing here this afternoon although she may have gone somewhat over and beyond the actual amendment itself explaining what the public require from PSD.

March 21st, 2010 by Scott Ogier
Thank you Sir. That was a great addition by Deputy Storey to the debate for reasons I will come to later. In 2004 I headed up a Requete designed to take a last look at a 70,000 tonne incinerator, and in my opening speech on the Requete I said, and I quote, “mass burn technology […]
Deputy Fallaize’s speech to the States of Deliberation on 25 February 2010 on the Lowe Amendment to Deputy Kuttlewascher’s Requete
