Praise the Lords!Lord O'Neill of Clackmannan, who chaired the Lords Science Sub-Committee on Waste Reduction, said: "It is time for the Government to remove its priorities from household waste to the far greater problem of industrial and commercial waste ... We would also like to see the VAT regime reformed so that products that have a long life cycle and can be easily and cheaply repaired are made economically more attractive."
The waste reduction report also criticises the Government's decision to cut the budgets of agencies such as the Waste Resource Allocation Programme, created to encourage more sustainable business practices.
