Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Bill

Mr Nigel Evans (Ribble Valley, Conservative)
Does my hon. Friend believe that it would be helpful for the Minister to tell us exactly what advice he has been given by the courts, the police or the Environment Agency in setting the fines as high as they are? I am not saying that the fines are not appropriate, but I want to know what advice was received.
