PE986, which was submitted by Woodlands primary school, calls on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to take greater action to protect the public, domestic and non-domestic birds and animals from the dangers of broken glass, to promote the use of plastic bottles as an alternative to glass and to introduce a refundable deposit scheme aimed at reducing the levels of broken glass in public places. Members have a note on the petition. Do we want to seek any organisation's views?

The responses that we have had appear to indicate that a deposit scheme is potentially not viable. Should we ask the Government how its policies on antisocial behaviour, waste, recycling and the environment might deal with the issue that is raised in the petition? We need more information.

Okay. Are members happy with that suggestion?Members indicated agreement.
