Text

I thank the Minister for his answer. I do not know whether other Members are like me in seeing an increase in fly-tipping and illegal dumping across their constituencies, but there seems to be an upsurge. Minister, will you indicate the annual cost to the public purse of that practice? What are you doing to ensure that the criminals, not the public, pay for it?
