Motion text
That this House notes with concern ongoing reports that industrial waste, believed to be by-products of glass manufacturing in Northern Ireland, has been deposited at the Birdston Coup site near Milton of Campsie in East Dunbartonshire; acknowledges local residents' fears regarding potential airborne carcinogens and the proximity of the site to farmland used for livestock grazing; recognises the role of the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) in monitoring and investigating the matter; expresses concern at the lack of clarity to date about the volumes, origin, and composition of the waste; and calls on relevant UK and devolved authorities to work collaboratively and transparently to ensure public reassurance, environmental protection, and appropriate enforcement where necessary.
