Approval of these applications are individualised in line with the principles of the Mental Capacity Act and FCA guidance which can found at: <a href="https://www.handbook.fca.org.uk/handbook/CONC/2/10.html" target="_blank">https://www.handbook.fca.org.uk/handbook/CONC/2/10.html</a>.</p><p> </p><p>The guidance makes clear that firms should take reasonable steps to ensure that they have suitable business practices and procedures in place for the fair treatment of customers who they understand, or reasonably suspect, have or may have a mental capacity limitation. This includes customers who are subject to Court of Protection Orders.</p><p>The FCA proactively monitors the market to ensure firms follow its rules and it has various methods to punish breaches. There is no limit on the fines it can levy and it can require firms to compensate consumers. In addition, consumers have recourse to the Financial Ombudsman Service for independent arbitration if they believe their formal complaint to a firm has not been dealt with satisfactorily.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Hitchin and Harpenden answering member printed Bim Afolami question first answered 21/11/2023 16:46:24 answering member 4639 label Biography information for Bim Afolami

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2023 answer text <p>The Government is committed to tackling waste crime, and it is an offence to dump waste on land without appropriate authorisation. The Prime Minister’s Anti-Social Behaviour Action Plan set out how we will support councils to take tougher action against those who fly-tip. We have raised the upper limit for fixed penalties for fly-tipping to £1,000 and taken steps to encourage councils to issue more of these penalties.</p><p> </p><p>We are developing a toolkit with the National Fly-Tipping Prevention Group, to help councils and others tackle fly-tipping. This includes a guide on how to present robust cases to court and a new framework on setting up and running effective local partnerships.</p><p> </p><p>We have also awarded nearly £1.2m to help more than 30 councils purchase equipment to tackle fly-tipping at known hot-spots. We have recently launched another grant opportunity that could see a further £1m handed out in grants next year to help even more councils tackle the issue.</p><p> </p><p>The Environment Agency (EA) investigates fly tipping if the incidents are large-scale, serious, organised illegal dumping or if it immediately threatens human health or the environment. They work in partnership with other local partners such as the police, local authorities, the fire service and United Kingdom Health Security Agency (UKHSA) as needed. This includes seeking advice from UKHSA about public health risks from illegal waste activities if necessary.</p><p> </p><p>As part of its partnership work the EA has provided advice and guidance to the London Borough of Havering to help deal with a specific site in Havering and will continue to do so. The council is the lead authority on regulating this particular site and for monitoring air quality. Its work will take into account any advice on public health matters that it might receive from UKHSA.</p> answering member constituency Keighley answering member printed Robbie Moore grouped question UIN 1828 question first answered 30/11/2023 14:41:31 answering member 4861 label Biography information for Robbie Moore

The Government encourages local authorities to consider such provision in public toilets to support those with this need but does not have powers to compel the provision of sanitary bins in public toilets.
