Proceeding contribution from Joan Ruddock (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 28 February 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Refuse Collection.

Refuse Collection

The hon. Lady is being disingenuous. She knows that the indicative amounts, which my predecessor quoted, were in the region of £30 to £50. I am on record as saying that the point of piloting is to see what would be the appropriate amount. I suggested that it could be as high as £100, but does the hon. Lady really think that it could be £1,000—that any local authority would wish to charge that amount, when, as she says, it is the entire cost of the council tax?
