Lord Elton
My Lords, is not an empty tent litter, whether it is on public property or private property, that can be removed without further legislation?
Lord Henley
My noble friend makes an interesting point. Whether an empty tent is litter is a matter that I am not going to argue now. I go back to the principle that this is something on private property and, therefore, is not something on which the Government currently have powers to intervene.
