Proceeding contribution from Barry Sheerman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 January 2017. It occurred during e-petition debate on Non-recyclable and Non-compostable Packaging.


Non-recyclable and Non-compostable Packaging

Does the hon. Gentleman agree that if we were working at the highest level of the best local authority in terms of recycling achievement, we would be in a much happier and more successful place? Has he looked? I own up to this: my constituency of Huddersfield is under Kirklees Council, which has a terrible record on recycling. Many local authorities are poor recyclers. Is it not time we took action against underperforming local authorities?
