Speaking in the House of Commons on 17 November 2025

Debate

Illegal Waste: Organised Crime

Contribution

My hon. Friend is right to be angry about the incidents that he is seeing in his constituency, and this is one of the reasons we have increased the Environment Agency funding for waste crime enforcement by 50%. Of course, we are always keen to work with all local authorities and to share best practice to ensure that all of them are going after these waste criminals.
