HC Deb 19 April 1972 vol 835 cc91-2W
41. Mr. Cormack

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will seek to introduce on-the-spot fines when he brings in his anti-litter legislation.

Mr. Peter Walker

The Dangerous Litter Act, 1971, which raised the maximum litter penalty from £10 to £100, is less than a year old. I am not contemplating further legislation at present.
