To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what estimate has been made of the average time to clear fly tipping by local authorities in England from 2015 to date.

Answer

Mary Creagh

Local authorities are not required to provide data to Defra on the average time to clear fly-tipping, therefore no estimate has been made.
