[holding answer 13 July 2009]: I have been asked to reply.This matter falls within the remit of the Environment Agency; the Health and Safety Executive does not levy pollution-related fines.The relevant Environment Agency national enforcement database reports have been placed in the Library of the House. The national enforcement database came online in April 1999. Data are therefore not available for 1997, 1998 and the first three months of 1999.The national enforcement database has categories for individuals and companies, but local authorities are classified with "other legal entities". The reports provided here titled "other" therefore include local authorities along with other non-commercial corporate entities.The Environment Agency will prosecute a serious pollution offence only when prosecution is considered to be in the public interest. The level of fine imposed is a matter for the sentencing court. All aggravating and mitigating factors and the defendant's ability to pay will be taken into account.Prosecution is only one of a number of interventions that the Environment Agency employs and other enforcement tools will also have some effect. The Environment Agency publishes an annual Spotlight report which provides details of the performance of regulated industry sectors and the relevant enforcement action taken. The 2008 report can be viewed at:"http://publications.environment-agency.gov.uk/pdf/GEHO0708BOFX-E-E.pdf?lang=_e"

DEFRA (the core Department) does not have authority to levy financial penalties without the need to resort to court proceedings.The Environment Agency, a non-departmental public body, can levy fixed penalty notices under the following legislation:"Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005""The Hazardous Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2005""The Transfrontier Shipment of Waste Regulations 2007""The Site Waste Management Plans Regulations 2008"The Environment Agency is also responsible for imposing civil penalties under the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme Regulations 2005 in England and Wales.The Marine and Fisheries Agency has authority to impose administrative financial penalties for fisheries offences under the Sea Fishing(Enforcement of Community Measures)(Penalty Notices) Order 2008, SI 2008 No 984.Due to the large number and the complexity of schemes administered by the Rural Payments Agency, I have instructed the Chief Executive to reply to you by letter.
