Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lady Saltoun of Abernethy (Crossbench). It was answered on Thursday, 2 November 2006.
Plastic Bags
- Question
- My Lords, is the Minister aware that some of us are very grateful for our free plastic bags, because we reuse them as bin liners and for a variety of other purposes, thereby saving ourselves from having to buy any?
- Answer
-
My Lords, the noble Lady is quite right; plastic bags make up 0.3 per cent of domestic waste and between 0.1 per cent and 1 per cent of visible litter. They constitute a very small proportion of total litter, and most sensible people will reuse them for other purposes. To that extent, it is not all negative.
