Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Mary Creagh and Bobby Dean

Thursday 19th December 2024 Commons Chamber

[Bobby Dean (Carshalton and Wallington) (LD)]

T5. In my constituency we have an incinerator that regularly breaches its air pollution limits, but the Environment Agency does nothing about it. Will the Government tell us what they are doing to give the EA teeth?

[The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Mary Creagh)]

Incineration permit breaches are a matter for the regulator, the Environment Agency, but we are reviewing energy-from-waste capacity across the country and will be making a statement imminently.
