answer text: The Government's policy on tackling litter is led by the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs though the Department for Communities and Local Government did provide joint written and oral evidence with DEFRA to the CLG Select Committee inquiry on litter and fly-tipping earlier this year. There have been no recent discussions with groups campaigning for the appointment of a Minister for Litter and there is no current intention to appoint such a Minister in this Department. DCLG ministers will of course remain strongly interested in this matter as it can be a significant issue for local residents.
