Environment: Plastic Bags

Debate between Baroness Butler-Sloss and Lord De Mauley

Tuesday 14th May 2013 Lords Chamber

[Lord De Mauley]

My Lords, I will always do my best to support my noble friend. There is no question of a ban. What I think noble Lords on all sides are suggesting is a charge, so my noble friend will be able to pay a modest sum for her bag if a charge does eventuate.

[Baroness Butler-Sloss]

My Lords, I recycle food waste in a recyclable bag which East Devon provides. Why can we not move into recyclable bags in the supermarkets?
