Trevor Sargent
Question:345 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government if he will give details of the single biggest cause of litter in Ireland; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that spent matches, cigarette butts and packets are the biggest cause of litter in London, and that Westminster Council has 30 authorised cleansing officers employed in a two-month experiment to solve the problem; and the corresponding action, if any, he will take to deal with the same problem in this country.
