Closed Review and reform the Litter Strategy for England

Closed on

In 2017 the Government published a Litter Strategy for England. We believe this is not working and must be reviewed and reformed to effectively tackle the problem of litter. The new strategy should contain concrete proposals and funding for enforcement, education and community engagement.

Many roadsides, streets, public places and parts of the countryside are in a terrible state with litter. We need an effective policy to clean England up.

    What are Westminster Hall debates?

    Westminster Hall is the second Chamber of the House of Commons.

    Westminster Hall debates give MPs an opportunity to raise local or national issues and receive a response from a government minister. Any MP can take part in a Westminster Hall debate.

    Debates in Westminster Hall take place on ‘general debate' motions expressed in neutral terms. These motions are worded ‘That this House has considered [a specific matter]'. This means that Westminster debates don’t end in a vote on a particular action or decision.
