Fly-tipping
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what estimate he has made of the number of instances of fly tipping in the last six months.
Answered by Emma Hardy
Local authorities in England are required to report fly-tipping incidents and enforcement actions to Defra, which are published annually at https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/env24-fly-tipping-incidents-and-actions-taken-in-england. This excludes the majority of private-land incidents.
Data for the 2023/24 reporting year will be published later this year.
