Conservative — Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner

Speaking in the House of Commons on 21 January 2025

Debate

Environmental Protection

Contribution

Does my hon. Friend share my concern that this measure will create not only headwinds for business, but significant headwinds for the local authorities that use the recyclable and resaleable material from doorstep recycling to subsidise the cost of expanding recycling services to all our residents? By extracting that valuable material from doorstep recycling, we risk pushing up the council tax needed to subsidise recycling services for all.
