Proceeding contribution from James Gray (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 January 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on London Local Authorities Bill [Lords].
London Local Authorities Bill [Lords]
On reflection, I will disagree with myself and redisagree with the disagreement that I made against myself a moment ago, if my hon. Friend will forgive me for doing so. He is of course quite right. If the person who drops the litter is the person who pays the fine, as happens under the existing legislation without this clause, the polluter indeed pays. However, if the institution from which the polluter emerges pays, that is an entirely different principle under environmental law.
