The question

To ask the Scottish Executive whether any assessment has been made of the impact on the supply and demand of recycled and secondary aggregates as a result of the introduction of the aggregates tax.

The answer

Answered by Rhona Brankin on 26 Oct 2001 · 21 days after it was lodged, on time

The aggregate tax is a reserved matter. Detailed questions on the impact of the aggregates tax should be directed to HM Treasury. Although no separate assessment of the impact of the tax has been undertaken in Scotland, it is expected that the supply and demand of recycled and secondary aggregates will increase.
