Clause 49 - Payments for waste recycling and disposal
Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Bill
3:00 pm
Mr Matthew Green (Shadow Minister, Office of the Deputy Prime Minister Local Government & the Regions; Ludlow, Liberal Democrat)
I oppose the amendment, because I want to speak in defence of modern art. The amendment would mean that people would be unable to re-use an item, such as turning a kettle into some bizarre sculpture, as often happens. It would rule that out because it would be the re-use of a material. If someone took down a garden shed, they could not turn the wooden components into furniture, as that would count as re-use. It seems completely illogical.
