Dan Rogerson
Building on my reply to the hon. Member for North Ayrshire and Arran (Katy Clark), we are considering the issues raised by the Environmental Audit Committee, as well as the representations we have received as we take the policy forward. Evidence from retailers and members of the public shows that they want us to do something to tackle single-use carrier bags.
Mr Gregory Campbell (East Londonderry) (DUP)
In his deliberations will the Minister take account of similar legislation that is going through the Northern Ireland Assembly?
Dan Rogerson
As the Secretary of State said in answer to an earlier question, we are interested in what has already happened in Wales, and what is being considered in Scotland and in Northern Ireland.
