Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to paragraph 3.57 of the Budget 2018 Red Book, how much and what proportion of the revenues of the plastic packaging tax have been allocated for tackling single-use plastics, waste and litter.

This question was answered on 21st April 2022
The 2021 Autumn Budget and Spending Review confirmed that since March 2021 the government will have committed a total of £30 billion of public investment for the green industrial revolution in the UK.

Alongside the Plastic Packaging Tax, the government is introducing measures including a Deposit Return Scheme for drinks containers, an Extended Producer Responsibility scheme and Consistent Recycling Collections. These measures will work hand-in-hand to tackle plastic waste and litter.
