The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what funding has been provided to local authorities in England to prevent and tackle fly-tipping in each year since 2020.

Answered by Mary Creagh

The Government is making around £78 billion available to council budgets in England this year as part of the first multi-year funding settlement in over a decade to help fund key responsibilities like fly-tipping.

By the end of the multi-year Settlement (2028-29), we will have provided a 15.5% increase in Core Spending Power, worth over £11.4 billion, compared to 2025-26
