Finally, before I leave this topic, we know that Germany has 135,000 return points. What information do the Government have on how many mandatory return points will be needed for this scheme to work in practice in England and Northern Ireland? Take this area of Westminster: I know that there are three big, spacious supermarkets down in Victoria and Pimlico but, between Parliament and Victoria, there are three mini Tesco branches, two Sainsbury’s Locals, two mini Waitrose branches, and dozens of small shops and takeaways such as Pret, Leon, Caffè Nero and Itsu—all selling drinks in containers and all more than 100 square metres in size. Will they have to have a return facility?
