Proceeding contribution from Derek Thomas (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 24 October 2019. It occurred during Debate on select committee report on Plastic Food and Drink Packaging.


Plastic Food and Drink Packaging

I will not comment on Tiverton and Honiton again. I say that my constituency is the most beautiful because, apart from a short section that neighbours the constituencies of my hon. Friends the Members for Camborne and Redruth (George Eustice) and for Truro and Falmouth (Sarah Newton), we are entirely surrounded by the sea. However, although ours is a beautiful, unspoiled part of the world where every Member—as well as most of the country—gladly chooses to holiday during the summer, the truth is that we do see plastic pollution.
