Part of the debate – in the House of Lords at 2:44 pm on 14 May 2024.
My Lords, I declare my interest in a family farm business that bears an ever-increasing burden of having to clear up fly-tipped waste, particularly building waste—which recently included a most attractive bathroom suite left in an open meadow. Can the Minister say whether any consideration has been given to requiring waste carrier licensees to display some form of licence on their vehicles? Does the Minister agree that fly-tippers might be deterred from carrying and dumping waste if they and their illegal purpose were more easily identifiable because of the absence of a visible licence on their vehicle?
