Marine Environment: Litter (27 February 2017)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if the Government will participate in the UN Clean Seas global campaign on marine litter.

Asked by:
Kerry McCarthy (Labour)

Answer

We have yet to decide whether to formally participate in this campaign. Our proposals, however, to ban the use of microbeads in cosmetics and personal care products as well as our wider approach to addressing marine litter are consistent with the aims of the campaign.
