The Government recognises the vital role that the ports sector plays in supporting the government’s objectives on transport and infrastructure. At the Budget, the Government announced it would legislate to remove the Landfill Tax exemption for stabilisers used in dredged material from April 2027.
This decision followed a consultation on reforms to Landfill Tax during which the government engaged with a range of stakeholders from key sectors. This decision will not prevent the use of stabilisers, but it will encourage businesses to limit their use to what is necessary.
The Government does not expect the change to have a significant impact on flood risk management as most material removed during routine waterway maintenance of rivers and canals is reused locally and deposited adjacent to the channel, avoiding the need for disposal at landfill sites.

The Government recognises the important role that the energy from waste, dredging and biomass sectors play in supporting the Government’s circular economy objectives.
The Government announced at Budget last year that it would remove the Landfill Tax exemption for stabilisers used in dredged material from April 2027 because it is inconsistent with the government’s circular economy ambitions. The decision followed on from a consultation on reform to the tax, during which the Government engaged with stakeholders in a range of sectors. This will not prevent the use of stabilisers, but it will encourage businesses to limit their use to what is necessary.

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many people received an exemption from landfill tax for dredging waste in (a) 2015-16, (b) 2016-17 and (c) 2017-18.

HMRC landfill tax returns do not require taxpayers to specify which relief applies to material that is not subject to tax. It is therefore not possible to establish how many taxpayers benefitted from a particular exemption. HMRC does not require this level of detail because it would place a disproportionate administrative burden on business.
My Lords, the draft 2016 regulations consolidate and update the rules that enable businesses to carry out a wide range of activities without harming the environment or human health.

My Lords, I thank the noble Lord for his explanation of the new regulations. As he rightly pointed out, this is in effect a consolidation exercise.

My Lords, I am most grateful to the noble Baroness for her comments and questions. Having seen the document, my heart sank at its many pages, but in fact the framework is 50 pages and there are a lot of schedules. It is inevitably complex, but we want to get...

My Lords, I thank the Minister very much for his introduction. He will know, and has just described, how particularly sensitive the issue of activities on or near watercourses is at the current time, given our recent history of flooding disasters. In particular, we are becoming much more aware of...

My Lords, I thank my noble friend for introducing these regulations this afternoon, which will, I think, make life easier for those having to cope with flooding. I have just a couple of issues.

My Lords, I am most grateful for those remarks, and I am also grateful that there is a general understanding of the purpose of what we want to do. We feel that there are a variety of activities, so it would not be proportionate to have the same sort of...
