answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2018 answer text <p>Public Health England has not made an assessment of the potential effect on public health of increasing the amount of waste that is recycled.</p><p> </p><p>Recycling in England has increased from 11% in 2001/02 to 44.9% in 2016. This is thanks to action by the Government and local authorities and also the support of the public wanting to recycle more. The Government wants to accelerate consistency in what is collected for recycling and to encourage more local authorities to recycle food waste to reduce which would help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from landfill.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 27/11/2018 17:09:39 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
