Household Rubbish Collection

Asked when a statement on household rubbish collection could be expected, the PMS replied that it was clearly a very complex issue; there were a lot of difficult issues that needed to be considered; it was important that the right balance was struck and it would also be important to have the right mechanisms in place. Once the Government was in a position to make an announcement it would do so.

Put that Downing Street was putting the breaks on a decision being made and was the statement on the plan simply delayed or not going to be given at all, the PMS replied that there was never a decision made on there being a publication today and he had never suggested that people should anticipate any announcement when alerting the press to future Government business. It was a complex matter and the Government needed to consider the responses to the consultation. A way needed to be found to strike the right balance and that’s what the Government would do.

Asked to clarify in terms of policy whether the Government was still minded to do it, the PMS reiterated that it was a complex matter and there was a whole range of issues that needed to be looked at. When the Government was in a position to make an announcement they would do so.
