Tyres: Waste Disposal

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, with reference to her answer of the 20th April 2026 to Question UIN 124082, how many of the 3277 shipments referenced in her response as having taken place between the 28th October 2025 and 2nd February 2026 had a) exceeded the sixteen week deadline for the submission of post-shipment information as of the 30th April 2026 and b) of that number how many have not supplied geo-tagged photographic information within the sixteen week window.

Answer

The Environment Agency received post-shipment information for 2,503 of 3,315 shipments. This amendment to the total is because of shipments being initially reported which were out of scope. All of the 812 late submissions have been followed up with the exporter.

1,059 of the 2,503 shipments have not supplied geo-tagged photos, but have provided alternative evidence to demonstrate that material had been correctly received.
