	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/05/2016 answer text <p>We welcome all views on how the problem of litter, including that caused by cigarettes can be tackled. As such, Defra will consult with a wide range of stakeholders to inform the development of its policies, and does so in line with the government’s Consultation Principles and other obligations.</p><p> </p><p>The Litter Strategy Advisory Group currently has over 20 members, which include representatives from, among others, local government, the packaging industry and organisations with expertise in running national campaigns to address the problem of litter. Without making the Group too large, which could reduce its effectiveness; the Group’s membership strikes a balance between different interests but still allows for effective discussion.</p><p> </p><p>We recognise that a desire to see littering reduced extends beyond just the organisations represented on the Group, and we intend to seek input from a wider base that this, with the Group being only one way that views and contributions on litter prevention can be fed in.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 26/05/2016 13:41:35 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
