Alongside this, DEFRA has announced the introduction of digital waste tracking from 2025 and reform of the licensing system, whilst multi-agency enforcement action through the Joint Unit for Waste Crime continues to disrupt criminal activity in the sector.</p> answering member constituency Grantham and Stamford answering member printed Gareth Davies question first answered 14/03/2024 12:39:06 answering member 4850 label Biography information for Gareth Davies
