Minister pledges mandatory charge will be introduced
A mandatory charge for plastic bags will be introduced on the Island in the future.

Schemes are currently run on a voluntary basis, with larger retailers such as Tesco, Marks & Spencer and Boots.
Speaking in the chamber, Mr Boot told members it's important the issue is addressed on a Manx scale and not simply following the UK.
