WEEE Directive

Proceeding contribution from Nigel Evans (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 July 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on WEEE Directive.
I am grateful for the hon. Gentleman’s advice. I am a carless person now. I tried to sell mine to a friend, who had it checked out to see what was wrong with it—he calls himself a friend. He phoned me up and said, ““Do you want the good news or the bad news?”” I said, ““Give us the good news.”” He said, ““There’s nothing wrong with the exhaust.”” I contacted the people at the garage that he had taken it to, and fortunately they took the vehicle back; I hope that they stripped it of everything possible. Best practice needs to be adopted and spread throughout the country. It all comes down to the fact that everything done with good intentions has unintended consequences. I hope that we can consider the unintended consequences of this issue and try to iron them out at the relevant legislative stages. I am sure that the Government are considering how we can make things a lot easier for people and go without a lot of the bureaucracy and paperwork that dog our daily lives. The vast majority of people do all they can to ensure that the generations to come have a future and that we do not leave them a planet full of electrical rubbish. We need the legislation that will help those generations.
