Proceeding contribution from Mike Freer (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 13 October 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on London Local Authorities Bill [Lords] (By Order).

London Local Authorities Bill [Lords] (By Order)

My hon. Friend makes a good point. Some operators, such as McDonald's, are very responsible and do provide regular litter patrols. However, other fast-food operators, in particular the smaller ones, but even some of the national chains—I shall not give names, but one is at the end of my road—simply do not provide them. They take no responsibility for the litter that they generate outside their premises, nor do they try to persuade their customers to act more responsibly. The Bill would allow local councils to deal with both instances.
