Proceeding contribution from Pauline Latham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 17 May 2018. It occurred during Backbench debate and Debate on select committee report on Plastic Bottles and Coffee Cups.
Plastic Bottles and Coffee Cups
I recently went to Bangladesh, and along the whole beach the plastic litter was waist-high. The amount was huge. I have spoken to my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for International Development about this. Does the hon. Lady agree that it would be a good idea to spend some of our aid money on paying people to clear up the mess? It is, after all, going into the same ocean that we use and that everyone else uses. That would help people to clean up their environment, which would also help their tourism, because people will go to a clean beach but not a filthy beach.
