 This morning I met with Ian Hetherington, Director General of the British Metals Recycling Association (BMRA). We discussed the issue of metal theft which I have been running a campaign against for some time.
I recently brought together a summit to discuss metal theft in our local region. The issue is having having a large impact on residents and our regional economy. I discussed issues raised at the summit with Ian. It was interesting to speak to him and listen to the views of the scrap metal industry, which any Government decision would have an affect upon. Next week I will be meeting with the Minister, Lord Henley, so that I can press him for Government action to tackle this huge problem.
