Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) (Amendment) Regulations 2010

I cannot give my noble friend an absolute assurance because we want to consider the results of the waste review before we come to decisions. He will know that Governments can do a great deal of things as and when they wish, particularly after publishing a review. I certainly cannot give an assurance that we will do something. All I can say is that we might, if it was necessary. I would then come to the noble Lord in sackcloth and ashes to say ““Mea culpa”” and whatever else he wished me to say. I am not saying that we will do this; I am saying that it is always a possibility.
