Proceeding contribution from Phyllis Starkey (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 28 February 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Refuse Collection.


Refuse Collection

Does the Minister also accept that a significant amount of fly-tipping is done by small business enterprises, notably builders, which are attempting to evade the landfill tax and are dumping builders' rubble or hedges or whatever around the place? The statistics quoted would be for fly-tipping overall, most of which, I suggest, is likely to be from the commercial rather than the domestic sector and, therefore, entirely unrelated to any proposals on domestic refuse collection.
