HC Deb 22 June 2000 vol 352 cc286-7W
18. Mr. Luff

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what discussions he has had with other Departments on the impact of the landfill tax on fly-tipping. [125843]

Mr. Timms

Treasury and Customs officials work closely together with those other departments that have policy interests on matters relating to waste disposal and landfill tax. All evidence suggests that the majority of fly-tipping is by householders, who are not directly affected by the tax.
