HC Deb 22 February 1989 vol 147 c701W
Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what steps he is taking to deal with fly-tipping.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

Plans to legislate for the registration of waste carriers were announced in June last year. Further proposals for legislation to make the registered keepers of vehicles used in fly-tipping liable to prosecution in certain circumstances are being considered following public consultation.
