Waste Disposal: Birmingham
Asked by: Ayoub Khan (Independent - Birmingham Perry Barr) Wednesday 25th February 2026 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the Prime Minister’s oral contribution during Prime Minister's Questions, Column 780, 11 February 2026, what steps the Government is taking to bring a negotiated settlement to the Birmingham bin strikes; and what representations he has made to Birmingham City Council on re-entering negotiations with Unite the Union. Answered by Alison McGovern - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government) The success of Birmingham is vital for the wider region, and the government therefore takes the progress made across Birmingham City Council very seriously. My department regularly engages with both the Council and Commissioners, alongside receiving regular updates on progress, including on the waste dispute.
While the government is not a party to this dispute, we continue to urge both parties to work together to bring about a sustainable solution to end the strike, in the interests of the people of Birmingham. |
