Richard Ottaway: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if (a) her Department and
(b) the Environment Agency will establish an online database to monitor flows of wastes and other materials through the
economy. [183229]
Mr. Morley: Good quality data on waste is vital to monitor and evaluate performance, underpin planning and investment decisions and
formulate strategy and specific policy interventions. Defra's Waste Implementation Programme has established a data work-stream to
ensure effective co-ordination, provision and dissemination of reliable data on different waste streams, through the development of
a national three-year data strategy.
Already in place is the development of a web-based intranet and central database to provide quarterly data on municipal waste. Waste
Dataflow (www.wastedataflow. org) has been established by Defra together with the Chartered Institution of Wastes Management, and is
widely supported. The system will provide more timely, efficient and accessible data than is currently available, helping to monitor
progress against landfill directive targets. The Environment Agency has played an important role in helping to steer this project.
Our medium-term aim is to develop an accessible central database of current (and where available historic) data on all waste
streams, working closely with the Environment Agency.
