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

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their estimate of the increase in the number of fines for fly-tipping which have been issued since the introduction of on-the-spot penalty notices on 9 May 2016.

Data on fly-tipping is reported to Defra by all local authorities in England. This data includes all Fixed Penalty Notices issued for fly-tipping offences. It is not currently possible to separate out information for on-the-spot penalty notices alone. We hope to publish the data for 2016/17 before the end of the year.
