The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how many incidents of fly-tipping have been reported in the 2024-25 financial year.

Answered by Mary Creagh

Local authorities in England are required to report fly-tipping incidents to Defra, which are published annually at https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/fly-tipping-in-england. Data for the 2023/24 reporting year is available at this link.

Data for the 2024/25 reporting year is still being collected.
