Mr. Hancock: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what recent research he has (a) commissioned and (b) evaluated on
the effect of the withdrawal of the Fareshare funding category of the Landfill Tax Credit Scheme; and if he will make a statement.
[208349]
John Healey: Fareshare has not been withdrawn from the Landfill Tax Credit Scheme, but is no longer eligible for LTCS funding
following the reform of the scheme from 2003.
From 1 April 2003, landfill site operators can no longer claim a tax credit for contributions to projects under categories C
and CC, which dealt with sustainable waste management. Sustainable waste management projects are now funded through a public
expenditure programme (Waste Implementation Programme) administered by Defra to ensure that legally binding targets to significantly
reduce the amount of biodegradable municipal waste sent to landfill are met.
There has been no recent research commissioned on the impact of removing the C and CC categories from the Landfill Tax Credit
Scheme. Progress by the Waste implementation programme is demonstrated in improvements on all waste indicators.
