A Bill to introduce a civil penalty for littering from vehicles and to require local authorities to publish details of contracts relating to litter clearance.
House of Lords
22 July 2013
The Bill would create a civil penalty (a fine) for anyone who litters from a vehicle, rather than relying on criminal penalties. It also requires local authorities to publish details of contracts for litter clearance, increasing transparency about how streets are cleaned.
The Bill is currently at the 2nd Reading in the Lords. If it progresses, it would move to the committee stage for detailed examination and further readings.
