§ Mr. David PorterTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make it his policy to speed up local poop-scoop byelaws by allowing all local authorities to designate areas en bloc at the time of contract service planning; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. MacleanWhilst we are keen to speed up the byelaw-making process, designation in the manner suggested is not possible under the present enabling legislation.
