PM hints at universal carrier bag charge

David Cameron has reportedly confirmed that he's considering a universal charge for plastic carrier bags in England.

A 5p levy was introduced in Wales in October 2011 and in Northern Ireland in April this year, while Scotland is widely expected to do the same in October 2014. So far, though, there's been no move to do the same in England, for fear of antagonising cash-strapped voters.
