(2) what proportion of local authorities provide flycapture fixed penalty notice data for waste receptacle offences to his Department.

The most recent complete year is 2006-07-the first year many of the FPNs came into being. The return indicates that 43 out of 354 English local authorities (12 per cent.) issued a total of 988 fixed penalty notices for waste receptacle offences.
