Once the necessary information was received from all pork companies involved, via AHDB, this was reviewed and verified by Defra and submitted to the Chinese authorities with accompanying competent authority assurances. The information was submitted to the Chinese authorities as soon as it was ready, following review and verification by Defra, meaning that it was sent in four separate tranches. Information relating to Cranswick specifically was first received on 21 December 2015 and submitted the following morning. The second tranche was received on 26 January and contained a large amount of detailed information from all the companies involved. This required extensive review and verification by Defra and was sent on 3 March. The third set of information was received on 24 March and once the necessary verification had taken place was submitted on 4 April. The final set of information was received on 24 June and submitted to the Chinese authorities on 27 June.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 25/07/2016 07:46:39 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/09/2023 answer text <p>The Government is committed to tackling waste crime, which is a blight on our local communities and the environment and damages legitimate businesses. We have strengthened regulators' powers, are tightening the law and have increased the Environment Agency's budget by £10 million per year to make it harder for rogue operators to find work in the sector and easier for regulators to take action against criminals. The Prime Minister’s Anti-social Behaviour Action Plan set out how we will support councils across the country to take tougher action against those who fly-tip such as by raising the upper limit on fixed penalty notices to £1,000, which we did earlier this year.</p><p> </p><p>The Environment Agency’s Yorkshire Area has a dedicated team focussed on the investigation of waste crime across Yorkshire. All reports of waste related crime are recorded on the Environment Agency National Incident Recording System and investigated in order of seriousness.</p><p> </p><p>As of 1 September 2023, the Environment Agency’s Yorkshire team is dealing with 37 active illegal waste sites across Yorkshire with 10 ongoing serious and significant investigations. None of these are in the Selby area. The team has completed six investigations into illegal waste sites and these have been authorised for prosecution and are being progressed. One of these is in the Selby area although the site is no longer active. Since September 2022, the Environment Agency has closed 34 illegal sites in Yorkshire.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 13/09/2023 12:57:02 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow
