Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the Budget 2020 Policy Costings, which predicted £240 million to be raised by the plastic packaging tax in 2022-23, and paragraph 3.57 of the Budget 2018 Red Book, what proportion of that revenue has been allocated for tackling single-use plastics, waste and litter.

This question was answered on 21st April 2022
The 2021 Autumn Budget and Spending Review confirmed that since March 2021 the government will have committed a total of £30 billion of public investment for the green industrial revolution in the UK.

Alongside the Plastic Packaging Tax, the government is introducing measures including a Deposit Return Scheme for drinks containers, an Extended Producer Responsibility scheme and Consistent Recycling Collections. These measures will work hand-in-hand to tackle plastic waste and litter.
