Thank you very much, Deputy Presiding Officer. Cabinet Secretary, the aims of the Welsh Government are admirable, but perhaps unrealistic: 70 per cent recycling by 2025 and 100 per cent by 2050. In order to get to the 100 per cent mark, you really must bring the householders of Wales with you. You are working in response to the EU framework directive, which only requires a 65 per cent recycling rate by 2030. This is a classic case of the gold-plating of EU legislation, which Labour complains so much about in Westminster, and, all of a sudden, here we are, we’re getting it in Wales.

Now, there’s two main ways to get people to recycle in Wales: we can use the carrot or we can use the stick. I’m afraid that it appears that we are going down the stick route all too often. Many of my constituents in Conwy and, soon to be, Anglesey are being asked to not only sort their own rubbish on behalf of the council but also to make do with a four-weekly bin collection. Now, those of you who suffer from the system that we have on Anglesey know that, when the wind blows, literally the recycled rubbish ends up all the way down the street, and many of the inhabitants of the estate where I live, when it’s windy, don’t even bother putting out the recycled rubbish, because it just ends up everywhere. Is it not draconian to expect people with large families to put their rubbish into a bin that’s exactly the same size as that of somebody who only has one person in their household? Of course, Cardiff is now possibly facing the four-weekly scourge as well. Cabinet Secretary, what carrots can you offer to our residents regarding recycling, as opposed to this being a thorn in the collective side of the Welsh people? And what’s more, why is it not possible for us to—?
