disuse

Some of the rubbish will have to be dug up and removed because the disused quarry is not an appropriate place to store industrial waste.

That could include swapping some hotels for former military barracks or disused warehouses, as the health minister Stephen Kinnock suggested earlier on Sky News.

People could be detained on disused RAF bases and returned to countries like Afghanistan and Eritrea if agreements were reached.

Both currently have responsibility for managing disused railway land, but the Department for Transport said that this "fragmented approach" had led to "inefficiencies, duplicated efforts and missed opportunities".

The government hopes the changes will also make it easier to open new bars in disused shops, as well as promote outdoor drinking, al fresco dining and live performances.
