Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Frank McNally and Lindsay Hoyle

Wednesday 27th November 2024 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

The final question is from Frank McNally.

[Frank McNally (Coatbridge and Bellshill) (Lab)]

Following a major fire at the Tradebe depot in my constituency in 2021, Scotland’s clinical waste was forced to be transported to England due to a complete lack of forward planning. Tradebe was only appointed after the previous contract had collapsed, leaving human remains languishing in a warehouse. It has now been revealed that the Spanish company was bailed out with £5.4 million of taxpayers’ money. Does the Prime Minister agree that the SNP Government have consistently failed to get a grip of clinical waste disposal and must act appropriately to protect the public purse and ensure public safety?
