As my hon. Friend says, there is a great deal of opportunity for further funding for this whole area. I applaud WRAP's work in promoting the Courtauld commitment and other arrangements with industry. The quick wins obviously involve larger companies such as Sainsbury's, which has come up with some very good ideas about food waste. We must now move on to the difficult stage of dealing with small and medium-sized companies, which will be a priority for the future.

WRAP—which, with great perspicacity, has based itself in Banbury—does good work in developing markets for recyclable materials, but do my ministerial colleagues not feel that it is time to change its governance rules to make it easier for it to lever in, and work in partnership with, the private sector, so that over time private investment and funding can replace public funding?

Since 2001, DEFRA has spent a total of £2,464,622.14 on projects commissioned from the consultancy, Eunomia. Due to the wide ranging nature of work, it would involve a disproportionate cost to identify individual projects, which have included many areas of work across DEFRA. Eunomia currently has a contract with DEFRA and the Department for Communities and Local Government to draft a protocol and guidance to improve the interface between environmental permitting and planning permission.Data for individual projects are however available for those commissioned by the Waste Resources Action Programme (WRAP) and the Environment Agency.Table 1 lists the title, subject and cost of work commissioned from Eunomia by WRAP. These are inclusive of VAT.Table 2 shows completed outturn project expenditure to Eunomia by the Environment Agency between 2001 and 15 June 2010.Currently, Eunomia is engaged on a single project for the Environment Agency, approved expenditure details of which are given in Table 3.
