answer text <p><del class="ministerial"><em>It has not proved possible to respond to this question in the time available before Prorogation. Ministers will correspond directly with the Member.</em></del></p><p><ins class="ministerial">Fly-tipping is unacceptable whether it occurs on public or private land. Not only does it blight the areas in which it occurs but may also pose a risk to the environment and human health.</ins></p><p><ins class="ministerial"> </ins></p><p><ins class="ministerial">In May 2016 we gave local councils the power to issue fixed penalty notices of up to £400 for small-scale fly-tipping as an alternative to more costly prosecutions. This built on other action to tackle fly-tipping, including: working with the sentencing Council on its sentencing guideline for environmental offences; making it easier for vehicles suspected of being involved in waste crime to be stopped, searched and seized; continuing to chair the National Fly-Tipping Prevention Group to promote and disseminate good practice for tackling fly-tipping; strengthening the waste Duty of Care by publishing a revised Code of Practice and supporting the industry-led Right Waste Right Place campaign to promote Duty of Care to small businesses.</ins></p>
