Sounds like Gilbert and Sullivan: All the petitions from town and parish councils against Covanta were deposited with Parliament last December but there were requests from Covanta and the Secretary of State (for Energy I believe therefore Ed Davey) that the petitions ‘be not heard’. However the chairman of the House of Commons Ways and Means Committee and the chair of some House of Lords Committee will meet to decide whether the petitions go forward to a special committee to hear the substantive issues. We should know the result any day.
