The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if his Department will make a comparative estimate of the UK's total electronic waste compared to the rest of the world.

The Environment Agency regularly publishes data on the volumes of waste electricals collected. Currently we do not compare this figure to that of other countries or the rest of the world.
