HC Deb 13 June 2000 vol 351 c546W
28. Mr. Blizzard

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will make a statement on his target for recycling household waste. [124017]

Mr. Mullin

The Government's waste strategy sets ambitious targets for increasing recycling of household waste—doubling recycling in three years, and nearly trebling it in five. This is a substantial step forward, which will require authorities to provide householders with doorstep recycling services.
