Single-use bags could be targeted
A levy on plastic bags could finally be introduced in the Island - but it's not expected to happen for another two years.
The charge, which is already in place in neighbouring countries, would apply to single use bags.
The move is proposed in addition to a government plan to reduce the amount of the material it uses.
Environment Minister Geoffrey Boot says the legislation may be aimed at ensuring local charities benefit:
Jail for man who tried to gouge a police officer's eyes out
Response to census "exceptionally good" so far, says minister
Rushen MHK calls for progress on 20mph zones in south
Man caught with indecent images of children spared jail
