Written question asked by Richard Burden (Labour) on Tuesday, 28 March 2017, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 30 March 2017. It was answered by Jane Ellison (Conservative) on Monday, 3 April 2017 on behalf of the Treasury.
Landfill Communities Fund
- Question
-
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of the level of funding for the Landfill Communities Fund; and what proportion of the landfill tax will be allocated to providing that funding in each of the next five years.
- Answer
-
For 2017-18, the value of the LCF has been set at £39.3 million. As a result, the cap on contributions from landfill operators has been increased from 4.2% to 5.3%. The Government expects to maintain this higher 5.3% cap for future years, but this expectation assumes we see continued progress from environmental bodies in terms of reducing administrative costs and the level of unspent funds.
