It was answered by Dan Rogerson (Liberal Democrat) on Tuesday, 24 March 2015 on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
Waste Disposal: Fires
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how many fires were recorded at regulated and unregulated recycling or waste sites in (a) 2013 and (b) 2014.
- Answer
-
The table below summarises the number of incidents recorded by the Environment Agency as fires at waste management premises for 2013 and 2014. The figures include all incidents ranging from serious impact to no impact.
Type of waste management site
2013
2014
Regulated
225
249
Unregulated
51
62
Total
276
311
The figures differ from those provided in response to a parliamentary question on 12 February last year. The response to that question stated that there were a total of 295 fires at both regulated and unregulated waste management sites in 2013. The difference is due to some duplication of incident reporting in the previous answer.
