Refuse Collection

I congratulate my hon. Friend on the quality of the report. She talks about the various borough initiatives. Does she agree that there is one large untapped area in which savings can be made? Some 8 million disposable nappies are disposed of every day in this country; that is 1 million during the three hours of this debate. I calculate that this Chamber, which is about 50 ft by 30 ft by 20 ft, would be filled every hour by the disposable nappies thrown away in this country. What did my hon. Friend learn from the local authorities mentioned on pages 25 and 26 of the report in relation to encouraging the use of reusable nappies in the way that the Nappy Alliance and others have been promoting for some time?
