  --- MOTION EFFECT ---

  @ MP voted no against enabling all non-domestic premises in London, rather than just commercial or retail premises, to be subject to notices making requirements in relation to litter or refuse such as the provision of, and emptying of a bin.
  
  The majority of MPs voted against enabling street litter control notices to be issued in relation to all premises other than dwellings rather than just commercial or retail premises. 
  
  
  
  A street litter control notice imposes requirements on occupiers of premises in relation to such litter or refuse. Requirements must relate to the clearing of litter or refuse from the specified area and can, for example, require the provision of, and emptying of, receptacles for litter or refuse. 
  
  MPs were considering the London Local Authorities Bill[1]. In this vote an  amendment to remove clause 5 of the Bill was rejected. The clause in question stated:
  
  :â[http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1990/43/section/94 Section 94(1)(a) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (street litter: supplementary provisions)] shall apply in Greater London as though for âcommercial or retail premisesâ there were substituted âpremises other than dwellingsââ.
  
  
  During debate hospitals and educational establishments were cited as examples of premises which would be brought into the scope of the provision if the rejected amendment had been accepted.
