Environment Bill

Debate between Baroness Hayman of Ullock and Matt Western

2nd reading: House of Commons & Money resolution: House of Commons & Ways and Means resolution: House of Commons
Monday 28th October 2019 Commons Chamber

[Sue Hayman]

My hon. Friend has made an excellent point.

[Matt Western (Warwick and Leamington) (Lab)]

My hon. Friend is making a powerful speech. Does she agree that we could cut out much of our waste through a system like the one that was introduced in Germany 20 years ago, the Grüne Punkt system, under which people leave packaging in supermarkets? That would quickly change the way in which producers supply products to our stores.

[Sue Hayman]

My hon. Friend gives an excellent example, and I thank him for that.
