HC Deb 25 March 1985 vol 76 cc10-1W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what sections of the Litter Act 1983 are in force.

Mr. Waldegrave

All sections of the Litter Act 1983 are in force, with the exception of section 4, which requires local authorities to prepare litter abatement plans. Implementation of section 4 has so far been deferred in view of the need for restraint in public expenditure.
