Protection of the Environment Bill 2003: Second Stage (Resumed).

 

I am pleased that promoters of events are being dealt with. While the ploughing match this year was a great event, a particular national newspaper distributed free copies every morning to those going into the event and in the evening the hedges were covered with newspapers. I do not particularly hold the National Ploughing Association culpable because it runs a good operation and cleans up after the event. However, the fact that a national newspaper had plastic bags available for those going into the ploughing match should be looked at.
