Plastics
(asked on 16th January 2018) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what will be the timing of their consultation on means to reduce the consumption of single-use plastic straws; and when policy proposals are expected to follow.
This question was answered on 30th January 2018
The government’s proposed call for evidence will explore whether changes to the tax system or charges could help reduce single-use plastic waste. This will look at all single-use plastics, not just plastic straws.
The call for evidence will be launched next month. The government will outline how it plans to proceed once we have analysed the responses to this call for evidence.
