Prosecutions or enforcement undertakings are normally considered for the more serious Category 1 and 2 incidents. Prosecutions are undertaken where there is a public interest in doing so and where there is a reasonable likelihood of obtaining conviction. Enforcement Undertakings have been available as an enforcement option since 2011.<\/p>

<\/p>

The prosecution of water pollution offences or decision on enforcement undertakings does not necessarily occur in the same year in which the incidents took place. There are cases for offences which took place in earlier years which are currently still in progress.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4098", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Suffolk Coastal"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Dr Thérèse Coffey"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-07-19", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-07-19T13:33:12.57Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "13"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-07-11", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Rivers: Pollution"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how many recordable pollution incidents there were for English waterways in each year for which information is available; and what proportion of those offences resulted in (a) successful prosecution and (b) an enforcement undertaking.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/534", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Chris Ruane"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Vale of Clwyd"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Chris Ruane"} ], "uin" : "4156"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/750804", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Communities and Local Government"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/750804/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Government is determined that everyone who is entitled to the National Minimum Wage (NMW) and National Living Wage (NLW) receives it. Anyone who feels they have been underpaid NMW or NLW should contact the Acas helpline on 0300 123 1100. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) review all complaints that are referred to them.<\/p>

<\/p>

HMRC does not record statistics on complaints or investigations by reference to countries of the United Kingdom, Government regions, constituencies or counties. Since 1999, when NMW enforcement began, HMRC has identified over 25,500 employers with total NMW arrears of almost £79 million. Last year (2016/17) HMRC identified over 1,100 employers with total NMW arrears of over £10.9 million.<\/p>

<\/p>

HMRC cannot comment on the affairs of individual taxpayers, as it has a duty to maintain taxpayer confidentiality. However, the Department for Business for Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) run a naming scheme for employers who are found to have underpaid NMW.
