Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will make an assessment of the merits of the recycling policies of the Welsh Government.

Waste is a devolved policy and the devolved administrations have their own arrangements for household recycling and waste collections.

We have worked closely with the Welsh Government on the development of proposals for extended producer responsibility for packaging and a deposit return scheme.
