Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what steps he is taking to reduce the level of unlicensed charity bag collections.
Door to door clothing collections raise millions of pounds each year for charities and also prevent hundreds of thousands of tonnes of textiles going to landfill. Where there are problems with bogus or unlicensed charitable collections then this is for local licensing authorities and the police to enforce.
