Mary Creagh
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)
I have not discussed fly-tipping specifically with the Minister for Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs in Northern Ireland. Environmental policy making, including with respect to fly-tipping, is devolved.
The Secretary of State chaired the Inter-Ministerial Group for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in September 2024 which the Minister for Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs attended. The group discussed reducing waste and pollution.
