At DEFRA Questions, I welcomed the Secretary of State to her new role and asked what steps her Department is taking to promote recycling and reduce the level of waste that goes to landfill every year in the UK. The Secretary of State confirmed to me that the Government is working hard to ensure consistency on the issue of recycling and waste on a national level and that the Government is committed to raising awareness and promoting good practice across the country to ensure that we reduce our non-recyclable waste nationally.
