Commentary on Sections Section 3 – Requirement to charge
Section 3 amends paragraph 2 of Schedule 6 to the 2008 Act.
The amendment allows regulations to require that the minimum charge be applied whether or not the bags that are supplied to a customer are actually used to carry away (or to deliver) goods purchased from the place where the bag is supplied at the time the bag is supplied. It is sufficient that the bags are designed for that purpose.
