Treasury policy on meeting recycling targets further call for evidence

• Inquiry: Sustainability and HM Treasury
• Environmental Audit Committee

At the end of 2015, the Committee launched a call for evidence into Sustainability and HM Treasury. The Committee also commissioned a report from the National Audit Office, looking at the extent to which the Spending Review process allows the Government to take well informed decisions in relation to sustainability.

As one part of the inquiry, the Committee intends to examine the contribution of Treasury policy towards meeting national and local waste and recycling targets.

The Committee is calling for written evidence on some or all of the following points in relation to recycling and waste management no later than 5pm on Friday 10 June 2016.

Organisations who have already submitted evidence to this inquiry are welcome to make a further submission if they wish, but are asked not to repeat points already made in earlier submissions.

• What impact has Treasury policy had on the ability to finance recycling and waste projects over the course of the last Parliament?
• What impact is current Treasury policy likely to have on the achievement of national and local recycling and waste targets?

The word limit is 1,500 words.
