Responding to the Environment Secretary's statement on the Waste Review in England, Harriett Baldwin congratulates Malvern Hills and Wychavon district councils on their bin collection services. Harriett Baldwin (West Worcestershire) (Con): Will the Secretary of State congratulate Malvern Hills district council and Wychavon district council? The former kept weekly bin collections, the latter moved to two-weekly bin collections, and both were recently soundly re-elected as Conservative councils for a further four-year term. Mrs Spelman: That demonstrates that good local authorities that respond to the wishes and needs of their residents and supply refuse collection services of good quality and sufficient frequency receive their reward through the ballot box and are returned to office. | Hansard | ITV Central Tonight (forward to 5:30)
