I thank the hon. Lady for bringing this forward—I spoke to her beforehand as well. She has outlined a serious waste-crime issue specific to her area. She is probably fortunate to have a Minister who will respond in a positive way, and I look forward to that response. However, it...

I thank the hon. Gentleman for that intervention, which will come as a surprise to no one. Yes, I know that Labour’s waste-crime action plan addresses many of the concerns that he has raised, and I am sure that the Minister will go into that in more detail in her...

Fleetwood stinks again today, but the Jameson Road landfill site still has not been closed. After 14 years of Conservative cuts to all our public services, bodies such as the Environment Agency are on their knees. Does my hon. Friend agree that the Environment Agency desperately needs more boots on...

I know that my hon. Friend has done such hard work for her constituency of Blackpool North and Fleetwood in campaigning on this. We are working closely together on this issue, and I absolutely agree: a big part of the problem is about the resources and enforcement powers of the...

My hon. Friend has outlined clearly the issues caused at Simonswood in my constituency, which my constituents are also really concerned about. Constituents on the other side of my constituency are also dealing with a very similar problem at the St Joseph’s college site. Would my hon. Friend agree that,...

Absolutely. I pay tribute, once again, to my hon. Friend for the work that she has been doing with me on that specific site in her constituency. She is right. In a moment, I will move on to another site with major issues, but where the Environment Agency did move...

My hon. Friend is making an excellent speech and I wholeheartedly support her campaign for her constituents, given the appalling situation they find themselves in. Does she agree that issues are often also at street level where, sadly, a tiny minority of residents drop off mattresses, old furniture and bags...

I absolutely agree: this matter affects us across all our constituencies. In the action plan, I have read about some good measures, but they need to be put into action. I am sure that the Minister will go into that in more detail.
I finish with four questions for the Minister....

It is an absolute pleasure to serve under your chairship, Mr Efford. I have slightly more time than normal, so I hope that we can have a bit of discussion because I am absolutely passionate about tackling waste crime. I am grateful to my hon. Friend the Member for Knowsley...

The Minister is making an excellent speech. I am really pleased to hear about the new strategy and determination from the current Government, in contrast with their predecessors. Would she able to address—this is a niche matter, but it is really important in some areas—the issue of abandoned boats? We...

Understood. We are talking about Knowsley, and I am not the canals Minister, but I will take that back to the Department. I am sorry to do the DEFRA silos, but this is not the first time I have heard that. My hon. Friend makes a very good point.

I have a quick question. Does that apply to the obfuscation of the vehicles and vans used? If it does, that will also hurt them.

Local authorities have those powers already, but they are not very confident at using them, so I have issued guidance to local authorities to say, “Come on—you’ve got these powers. Why don’t you use them?”. One of the things I hear back is that local authorities have to store the...

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they are satisfied that in the Care Quality Commission's 8 January assessment of Orchard Nursing Home, Huyton, residents, relatives of residents, and relatives of previous residents had an opportunity to discuss their experiences with the Care Quality Commission.
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they are satisfied that in the Care Quality Commission's 8 January assessment of Orchard Nursing Home, Huyton, residents, relatives of residents, and relatives of previous residents had an opportunity to discuss their experiences with the Care Quality Commission.
As the Care Quality Commission (CQC) is operationally independent, the Government has not made its own assessment of individual CQC assessments.
The CQC has advised that its 8 January 2026 assessment of Orchard Nursing Home, Huyton included consideration of how residents and family members were supported to raise concerns and share their experiences, with inspectors finding a positive culture in which people felt able to speak up and confident that issues would be listened to and addressed. The CQC took into full account concerns raised about the care people received and noted improvements the service had made under new management.
The assessment also found evidence that care plans had improved, with personalised care plans developed before admission, routinely monitored, and reviewed regularly to reflect people’s needs and preferences.
In addition, inspectors considered how complaints were identified, investigated and responded to. A complaints policy was in place, information on how to raise concerns was accessible, and complaints were taken seriously, investigated appropriately, and used to support learning and ongoing improvement.

The Government will work with my hon. Friend. The situation she describes is unacceptable and people are right to be furious. The Environment Agency is taking action to prevent further dumping, and we are giving it more powers and resources to crack down on fly-tipping. I will ensure that Ministers keep her updated with their efforts.
Speaking of garbage, I note that Reform UK’s spring-cleaning of the Conservative party is continuing this week. The Leader of the Opposition says that the Conservative party is full of unwanted rubbish, but the public worked that out long ago and got rid of them.

I associate myself with the remarks of the Deputy Prime Minister about Holocaust Memorial Day and that British serviceman.
This week, the BBC and “Good Morning Britain” have reported on the national disgrace of out-of-control waste dumps. For years, my constituents in Kirkby have lived with such a dump. People struggle to breathe, they are sick, they have to live with their windows shut and schools sometimes shut down for days. I have been campaigning on the issue with our Labour councillors, but the response from the Environment Agency has been slow and ineffective. Will the Government work with me to sort this nightmare and to stop the Simonswood stink?
