Waste: Crime
Asked by: Earl Russell (Liberal Democrat - Excepted Hereditary) Friday 30th January 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask His Majesty's Government what the total Environment Agency expenditure was on waste crime in each year since 2015. Answered by Baroness Hayman of Ullock - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) The Environment Agency (EA) is unable to track total expenditure on waste crime as waste crime is delivered by a range of multi-functional teams.
The EA can only report on what is allocated, not what is spent. The table provided sets out the EA’s Grant in Aid income that has been specifically allocated to waste crime activities since 2015. Wider core grant has historically contributed to enforcement work across all EA functions but is not allocated in way that can be specifically linked to waste crime, so is not included.
