These operations will now require an environmental permit.</p><p> </p><p>My Department has made no assessment of the potential impact of waste crime on the waste and recycling sector or the UK economy. Research for the Environmental Services Association (Counting the Cost of UK Waste Crime, 2021) estimated that waste crime costs the economy in England £924 million in 2018/19.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has provided an additional £10 million per year for the Environment Agency to tackle waste crime.

Therefore the MMO can provide figures that are best estimates. In this case ‘waters’ means territorial waters and the Exclusive Economic Zone.</p><p> </p><p>On average between 2012 and 2016, Welsh-registered vessels landed approximately 5% (1,000 tonnes) of their total live weight and approximately 10% (£2 million) of their total landed value of fish from Irish waters.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Vale of Glamorgan answering member printed Alun Cairns question first answered 11/09/2018 12:11:32 answering member 4086 label Biography information for Alun Cairns
