Lord Sassoon
My Lords, this is also a Government who take the burdens on business through red tape extremely seriously. We have to balance the various factors at play here.
Baroness Howarth of Breckland
My Lords, is the Minister aware that the amount of plastic we are saving from the shops has been overtaken by plastic bags that purport to collect clothing for various charities? Have the Government looked at this? They are very useful for recycling in rubbish bags but I am sure it is another unnecessary use of plastic.
Lord Sassoon
I am very happy to learn a bit more about this subject. I thank the noble Baroness.
