I presume they're talking about a Marks-and-Spencer style charge (5p a bag).
Do you think having to pay 5p a bag will really affect how many plastic bags that supermarkets will be giving out?
Paying 5p per plastic bag is nothing really, especially considering the price hikes on petrol, wine, spirits, beer and cigarettes...

It will effect people buying them yes, they will either re-use old plastic bags or buy a large hessian or fabric that all the stores are now full of.
I dont really mind not having free plastic bags as it will make people think about how many they need much more
