Written Question

Fires: Rainham

Wednesday 16th July 2025

Asked by: Lord Bailey of Paddington (Conservative - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask His Majesty's Government what support they are offering Having Council and the local community to tackle the causes of wildfires at Arnolds Field.

Answered by Baroness Hayman of Ullock - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

The Environment Agency and the UK Health Security Agency attend the local authority-led Launders Lane technical sub-group meetings, along with the London Fire Brigade and others. Ultimately the council is the lead authority on regulating the site and more information on the work of its technical sub-group can be found on the council’s website.
