Government caught out over plastic bags

Gordon Brown’s praise for Marks & Spencer’s decision to charge customers for plastic bags is justified.

What he didn’t mention was the official figures, just released, which show that over the last two years Government Departments and agencies have bought more than 1.2 million plastic bags branded with their logos.

The election of David Cameron as Conservative Leader saw the issue of climate change being dragged to the centre stage of British politics for the very first time.

Ever since, Labour Ministers have been struggling to practice what David has been rightly preaching.

This revelation proves that they still have some way to go.
