Commenting on the Co-op's decision to ban GMs from its own land and own-brand products, Andrew George MP, Liberal Democrat Shadow Rural Affairs Secretary, said:
The Liberal Democrats have tabled a new clause (NC26) to the Water Bill to introduce water metering for all homes. The proposals will be debated by MPs on Tuesday 21st October.
"The Government has been warned repeatedly that its waste strategy is pushing local councils towards a policy of incineration. Ministers are not giving councils the support they need make recycling and waste reduction an affordable alternative to landfill.
The Government has apologised to the Environmental Audit Committee for its 'unconscionable delay' in responding to the Committee's report into the use of illegal timber, Buying Time for Forests.
Liberal Democrats played a key role in the Government's decision today to move to give councils the power to intervene in "high hedge" disputes between neighbours.
