Speaking in the House of Commons on 17 November 2025

Debate

Illegal Waste: Organised Crime

Contribution

My hon. Friend is quite right to highlight that there are legitimate companies out there, but there are also waste criminals. That is why the Environment Agency has launched its economic crime unit, which targets the financial motivation behind offending and uses financial mechanisms to inhibit the ability of offenders, including organised crime groups, to operate.
