Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government – in the Senedd at 1:53 pm on 3 May 2017.

You can’t advocate the advantages of localism in one question and then ask me to set from here in Cardiff the way in which bins are collected in different parts of Wales; it really is not a consistent way of approaching local government. Nor, by the way, do I think the evidence is that different patterns of bin collection have a deleterious impact on recycling.
