answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/09/2019 answer text <p>UK ports are an important part of the pre-production plastic pellets supply chain. As such, we have welcomed the moves by PD Teesport and the Port of Felixstowe to sign up to Operation Clean Sweep and call for other UK ports to do the same. However, we must continue to engage all stages of the supply chain, such as manufacturing, logistics and processing, if we want to tackle the scourge of plastic pellet loss effectively. Collaboration with the British Plastics Federation is key to making this happen.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 30/09/2019 16:52:02 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow
