Proceeding contribution from Emma Hardy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 17 November 2025. It occurred during Urgent question on Illegal Waste: Organised Crime.


Illegal Waste: Organised Crime

I congratulate my hon. Friend and her council on the work that they are doing to deal with illegal waste. On fly-tipping, there are all the measures that I mentioned in my response to the hon. Member for Epping Forest (Dr Hudson), and we have also made an announcement about crushing vehicles. We are carrying out a review of council powers to seize and crush the vehicles of fly-tippers. We want councils to work with the police and use the latest technology, such as drones, to help catch fly-tippers, and to crush more vehicles. I will provide guidance about what more we can do in the new year.
