answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2022 answer text <p>Local authorities carry out enforcement activity for the vast majority of fly-tipping incidents. In recent years we have bolstered their powers by introducing fixed penalty notices of up to £400 and strengthening their powers to stop, search and seize the vehicles of suspected fly-tippers. The Environment Act 2021 will also help authorities better tackle waste crime through better access to evidence and improved powers of entry.</p><p> </p><p>We have committed to raising fly-tipping penalties in our manifesto. We have published notice of our intention to commission a research project that considers the effectiveness of current enforcement practices which will inform policy development in this area.</p><p> </p><p>Local authorities can also prosecute fly-tippers. In collaboration with the National Fly-Tipping Prevention Group (NFTPG) we have recently produced a guide on how local authorities, and others, can present robust cases to court to support sentences that properly reflect the severity of fly-tipping.</p><p> </p><p>The Environment Agency responds to the most serious illegal dumping incidents and has enforcement powers of its own.</p> answering member printed Lord Benyon question first answered 29/11/2022 13:15:13 answering member 1547 label Biography information for Lord Benyon
