Lord Elton Excerpts

Wednesday 26th October 2011 Lords Chamber

[Lord Elton]

My Lords, is not an empty tent litter, whether it is on public property or private property, that can be removed without further legislation?

[Lord Henley]

My noble friend makes an interesting point. Whether an empty tent is litter is a matter that I am not going to argue now. I go back to the principle that this is something on private property and, therefore, is not something on which the Government currently have powers to intervene.
