Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by David Drew (Labour). It was answered on Thursday, 10 December 2009 on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
Roadside Litter
- Question
- A significant amount of the litter on our streets, especially that thrown from cars, is cigarette material, particularly butts. What is the Department doing to get tough on the cigarette manufacturers? It is about time that they put something forward for clearing up the mess to which they contribute.
- Answer
-
Obviously, we have discussions with a wide range of people who manufacture items that contribute to litter. In truth, it comes back to behaviour change. Education, above all else, is what changes behaviour, and behaviour change is needed to deal with litter.
