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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, with reference to Walley's Quarry Landfill Site in Newcastle under Lyme, what discussions he has had with representatives of the Environment Agency on the effectiveness of the process for revoking permits at landfill sites.

I regularly discuss issues relating to Walley’s quarry with the Environment Agency and have also discussed them with my hon. Friend, the Member for Newcastle-under-Lyme, who has been tireless in raising his constituent’s concerns in this matter.
