My Lords, those consumers who are not on direct debit get their £67 a month back through vouchers. We know that some 18% of those are not claimed, so who keeps the money? Is it the energy retailer or the taxpayer?
My Lords, those consumers who are not on direct debit get their £67 a month back through vouchers. We know that some 18% of those are not claimed, so who keeps the money? Is it the energy retailer or the taxpayer?
Ultimately, it will be the taxpayer because that is a taxpayer subsidy, but we want to ensure that everybody gets the money that they are entitled to. The performance of companies varies widely in delivering these vouchers. Clearly, if people are on a smart meter then it is more advantageous because the support can be delivered easily and directly. We are working with suppliers to ensure that people get the support that they are entitled to but, by the very nature of premises with prepayment meters in them, it is sometimes difficult to get hold of the person paying the actual bill.
To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure that the new regulations regarding mandatory recyclability labelling are enforced.
To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure that the new regulations regarding mandatory recyclability labelling are enforced.
The regulations will set out the role of the enforcement authority and the offences and penalties that will apply to businesses that do not comply with the labelling requirements. The Office for Product Safety and Standards has agreed in principle to become the enforcement body and is advising us on the development of the monitoring and enforcement regime.

To ask Her Majesty's Government what was the total Environment Agency expenditure on pursuing and bringing to prosecution illegal waste operators in (1) 2016, and (2) 2017.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what was the total Environment Agency expenditure on pursuing and bringing to prosecution illegal waste operators in (1) 2016, and (2) 2017.
The Environment Agency (EA) collates expenditure data by financial year rather than calendar year. For both 2015-16 and 2016-17 spend on waste crime enforcement was estimated at £14.8 million per year. Data is not yet available for 2017-18.
This funding comes through Grant in Aid and the Landfill Communities Fund. The EA’s success in tackling waste crime led to an additional £30 million of funding over the next four years, announced in the Autumn 2017 budget. This will increase funding allocated to waste crime enforcement by approximately £5 million per year in 2018-19 and 2019-20, and by approximately £10 million per year in 2020-21 and 2021-22.
To ask Her Majesty's Government when the Environment Agency can use income from its permitting activities in the waste sector to pursue and bring to prosecution illegal waste operators.
To ask Her Majesty's Government when the Environment Agency can use income from its permitting activities in the waste sector to pursue and bring to prosecution illegal waste operators.
The Environment Agency (EA) currently spends around £15 million a year on waste enforcement and tackling waste crime. This is funded through Grant in Aid and the Landfill Communities Fund. An independent review of waste crime in 2014, commissioned by the Environment Services Association Education Trust, found that for every £1 they spend on waste crime, £5 is generated for the economy from their enforcement effort, including for HM Treasury in tax revenue.
Under rules for managing public money, the EA cannot use income generated from charges, including that from waste permits, on enforcement or waste crime activities. However, the EA is currently developing proposals for a further review of its charges which will explore options for changes to charging rules, which could allow for the use of permit income to tackle waste crime in the future.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government which police forces are actively monitoring 20 mph speed limit compliance; and how many prosecutions were brought for speeding in 20 mph zones between 2010 and 2014.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government which police forces are actively monitoring 20 mph speed limit compliance; and how many prosecutions were brought for speeding in 20 mph zones between 2010 and 2014.
The Home Office does not hold the information requested. Enforcement of speed limits is an operational matter for the police.
The Ministry of Justice Court Proceedings Database holds information on defendants proceeded against, found guilty and sentenced for criminal offences in England and Wales. However, unless stipulated in statute, the location of an offence cannot be separately analysed. Hence it is not possible to identify whether a defendant proceeded against for a speeding offence has been caught exceeding the speed limit in a 20mph zone. This information may be held by the individual courts in England and Wales and as such it can only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
