Litter: Codes of Practice

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what his Department's planned timetable is for responding to the consultation on making the Code of Practice on Litter and Refuse statutory, which closed in April 2024.

Answer

A copy of the consultation document on publishing statutory litter enforcement guidance will be deposited in the Library.

This consultation was run in March 2024 under the previous Government. This Government has yet to make a decision on whether to publish statutory guidance. Any decision will be announced in the usual way. Following this, we would expect to release a consultation response.
