Andrew Bridgen asks the Government when the results of the call for evidence on the proposals to ban single-use plastics will be published.

Could the Minister expand on that answer? When are the results of the call for evidence on the proposals to ban single-use plastics likely to be published?

Rebecca Pow (Minister for Nature Recovery and the Domestic Environment)

My hon. Friend’s question demonstrates the interest in the issue. I am just as interested myself, but we have to get the science right. We must not jump out of the frying pan into the fire, so we are exploring all options and the science behind them before we make an announcement, but I assure him that it will be made shortly.
