question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what discussions they have had with the government of the Republic of Ireland about the risks to health posed by the by products of illegally laundered fuel being dumped into waterways in the border areas; and whether they will put this matter on the agenda for a future meeting of the British–Irish Council.

uin	HL4381
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/02/2015 answer text <p>Managing the risks posed by the by-products of illegally laundered fuel is a devolved matter for the Northern Ireland Executive. I understand that fuel laundering is regularly on the agenda when the Justice Minister David Ford meets his counterpart in the Republic of Ireland; and that the Minister for the Environment, Mark H. Durkan, regularly discusses waste crime in North South Ministerial Council meetings.</p><p>In related areas, HM Revenue and Customs is active in promoting cross-border co-operation to tackle fuel laundering, including through chairing meetings of the Cross Border Fuel Group, which includes representatives of the PSNI, NCA, Environment Agency and their opposite numbers from the Republic of Ireland.</p><p>The British Irish Council is a forum for co-operation on matters of mutual interest between the eight Member Administrations. It may not therefore be the best means of raising issues which specifically concern only some of those Members. We shall continue, however, to make all the efforts we can to ensure the most effective co-operation on these issues.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Randerson question first answered 05/02/2015 15:45:37 answering member 4230 label Biography information for Baroness Randerson
