Jim Shannon

Democratic Unionist Party — Strangford

Speaking in the House of Commons on 20 November 2024

Debate

Global Plastics Treaty

Contribution

Does the hon. Member agree that these treaties are great in theory, but that support is needed to reach the targets, and that that support must not simply be in the form of help for developing nations? The steps needed are understandable and necessary, but they must start at home at the local council level, with additional funding to allow our nation to pull up our own socks and make meaningful differences to our plastic production and use.
