	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/11/2018 answer text <p>The Agriculture Bill currently going through parliament provides the powers necessary to support sustainable livestock production by making payments to farmers for adopting approaches to farm husbandry that improve animal health and welfare and which protect the farmed environment. It also creates the powers needed to improve fairness and transparency in the supply chain so that livestock farmers can provide a fairer price for the food they produce. Finally, the government aims to secure a deep and comprehensive free trade deal with the EU that continues to provide for frictionless, tariff-free trade.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 12/11/2018 17:25:32 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

In recent years we have ensured that local authorities have the necessary powers to tackle fly-tipping.

A further announcement will follow later this year. We will also support local authorities in raising householders’ awareness of their duty of care and update the Waste Duty of Care Code of Practice to inform householders better about how to ensure their waste is disposed of properly.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>As part of the Government’s Resource and Waste Strategy (due to be published before the end of the year), we are developing a strategic approach to waste crime. This will include further measures to tackle fly-tipping, including enhancing local-level partnership working and working with the court system to strengthen sentences to act as an effective deterrent.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Defra annually publishes fly-tipping statistics for England.
