answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/02/2018 answer text <p>Businesses involved in the shipment of wastes are required to take all necessary steps to ensure that the waste they ship is managed in an environmentally sound manner throughout its shipment and during its recycling. Exporters accredited to issue PERNs are required to provide suitable evidence that the sites to which they send waste are operating to standards broadly equivalent to those of EU countries.</p><p> </p><p>The UK environmental regulators take an intelligence led approach to checking compliance with these obligations focusing on specific problematic wastes. Enforcement activity occurs in transit, at roadsides and at ports. However, the regulators continue to focus significant effort on identifying, stopping and intervening at source prior to illegal exports taking place.</p><p> </p><p>The regulators also provide easily understood guidance for those responsible for exporting waste which allows anyone involved in the export of waste to determine which wastes can be legitimately exported to which countries and the procedures they must follow to do things legally.</p><p> </p><p>Last year the Environment Agency issued 130 stop notices, prohibiting the export of unsuitable waste. It also stopped 4,565 tonnes of waste destined for illegal export at ports and intervened further upstream to prevent a further 15,113 tonnes of waste from reaching our ports. This work ensures we are not exporting our problem wastes for unsuitable treatment or disposal.</p><p> </p><p>We cannot ultimately dictate how UK waste is managed once it leaves the UK. There is a system of international rules on shipments which must be followed. The authorities in countries that receive UK waste also need to be clear about the types of waste they will accept and the waste import procedures they require exporters to adhere to.</p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 07/02/2018 12:13:59 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/02/2018 answer text <p>Since my appointment as Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, I have been deeply moved by the stories I’ve heard about the suffering that victims and survivors of the Troubles have experienced. The UK Government has a duty to move forward on this important issue so that victims and survivors are able to get the progress they have been seeking for such a long time. The Government wants to consult soon, with the aim of building support and confidence in the new legacy institutions from across the community. The best way to do that is off the back of an Executive being formed, but if that does not prove possible we do need to make progress.</p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 07/02/2018 09:34:17 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley
