Plastics: Recycling
Asked by: Brian Mathew (Liberal Democrat - Melksham and Devizes) Thursday 24th October 2024 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps he is taking to encourage (a) recycling, (b) composting organic waste and (c) chemically recycling film plastic; and if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of levying a charge on producers of film plastic to fund its recycling. Answered by Mary Creagh - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) The Government has confirmed its commitment to delivering the Collection and Packaging Reforms to the announced timelines, subject to spending review. The reforms will mean that people across England will be able to recycle the same materials, whether at home, work or school. This will include a weekly food waste collection for every household and, from March 2027, kerbside collections of plastic film packaging. Separately, packaging Extended Producer Responsibility will place a charge on all household packaging that is placed on the market, including plastic film, to cover the local authority costs of its collection, treatment and disposal.
Together with mechanical recycling, chemical recycling technologies play a role in enabling the transition towards a circular economy. The government is aware that some stakeholders with an interest in chemically recycling plastic film are keen that a mass balance approach is used to calculate chemically recycled content in plastic packaging for the purposes of the Plastic Packaging Tax. His Majesty’s Treasury consulted on the incorporating of mass balance into the Plastic Packaging Tax in October 2023 and are preparing to publish their response before the end of the year. |

5 Nov 2024
In Development International Development Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 9 Dec 2024) In Development: call for potential topics of inquiry The International Development Committee has today launched an open call for potential topics of inquiry in the area of international relief and development. The Committee invites proposals on what it could investigate next and why, including what action is needed from the Government. Up to 10 individuals will be selected and invited to present their pitch to the Committee, either online or in person. The role of the Committee is to examine how the Government’s policy and spending supports lower-income partner countries in efforts to eradicate extreme poverty and improve development. A wide range of policy issues fall within our ‘international development’ remit, but the underlying thread is that they are funded by Official Development Assistance (ODA) funding. Areas include: poverty reduction; humanitarian assistance; conflict, stabilisation and mediation; good governance, rights and equality; education; energy, climate and the environment; global health; food security and nutrition; migration; investment, building trade capacity and exchanging expertise in areas such as science and technology; and the availability of international finance to help meet countries’ development goals. The Committee seeks ideas to feed into future inquiries from: civil society organisations, including relief and development NGOs, refugee and asylum charities, faith and community groups; academia, research institutions and think tanks; professional services; international organisations; and the wider public. It welcomes applications from the UK and overseas. We particularly want to hear from those who are typically underrepresented in policy debates on international development, such as those with direct experience on the ground, the more vulnerable in society, or those who bring an interdisciplinary approach to their research.

The FCDO's approach to value for money International Development Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 7 Jan 2025) In November 2020, the Government announced a reduction of Official Development Assistance (ODA) from 0.7 per cent to 0.5 per cent of Gross National Income (GNI), a “temporary measure” until a set of certain fiscal rules were met. In the 2024 Autumn Budget, the Government confirmed that the FCDO would be held to the previous government’s fiscal rules, with the OBR confirming that these rules, and therefore a restoration of the aid budget, are not expected to be met during the life of this Parliament. With the UK’s aid budget being under further strain due to Home Office spend on in-donor refugee costs, it becomes increasingly important that the FCDO ensures Value for Money on its programme spending. In 2011, the former Department for International Development (DFID) published its Value for Money framework, setting out how the Department defined Value for Money, and how this was integrated within its work. This framework set out that Value for Money in DFID’s programme meant “maximising the impact of each pound spent to improve poor people’s lives”, and outlined the intention of DFID to “improve the Value for Money of all aid”, not just DFID’s own. No similar framework has been published by the FCDO since DFID merged with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) in 2020. This inquiry will consider not just how the FCDO defines Value for Money and how this is implemented within its programming, but also its use of financing instruments to ensure that ODA achieves maximum impact.
