The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment his Department has made of the implications for his policies of the level of fly-tipping in Epping Forest constituency.

Answered by Mary Creagh

The department has not yet made any formal assessment of the implications of its fly-tipping policies. Local authorities are required to report fly-tipping incidents and enforcement actions to Defra, which the department publishes annually, at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/env24-fly-tipping-incidents-and-actions-taken-in-england.

This data isn't available at a constituency level and excludes the majority of private-land incidents.
