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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment she has made of the effectiveness of measures to prevent and prosecute fly-tipping on private land in rural communities.

This Government recognises the significant impact of fly-tipping on private land within rural communities. Through the Waste Crime Action Plan, we are working with partners to strengthen prevention, enforcement and prosecution activity, including exploring affordable insurance options to help landowners meet the costs of waste clearance.
