Chewing Gum Levy (EDM657)

Chewing Gum Levy

EDM number 657 in 2003-04, proposed by Pete Wishart on 24/02/2004.

That this House despairs at the disgusting problem of discarded chewing gum which blights the streets of every city and town the length and breadth of the country; notes the efforts of local authorities in trying to address this problem, but acknowledges that despite these efforts discarded chewing gum continues to present an intractable problem; calls on the Chancellor to introduce a chewing gum levy on the chewing gum manufacturers, so that for every packet of chewing gum bought a couple of pence is taken in the form of a levy to be then given to local authorities to address this problem; and calls on the chewing gum manufacturers to do more to make sure their product is fully bio-degradable and non-adhesive.

This motion has been signed by a total of 38 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
