Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government which minister has responsibility for reducing the amount of litter discarded at the side of Britain’s motorways and major roads.

The Minister for Environmental Quality and Resilience, Minister Rebecca Pow, is responsible for litter policy across Government. The Department for Transport works closely with the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and collaborates on these issues. The Minister for Roads and Local Transport, Minister Richard Holden, is responsible for the maintenance of motorways and major A-roads in England and holds responsibility for litter along these roadsides.
