Written Question
Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013
Monday 20th March 2017

Asked by: Baroness Browning (Conservative - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they plan to take to ensure that local authorities submit accurate, up-to-date information to the Environment Agency on licence holders subject to the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013.

Answered by Lord Gardiner of Kimble

The role of the Environment Agency is to publish the information supplied by local councils in the public register, as required by the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013. The Environment Agency aims at making it as simple as possible for councils to provide that information, including engaging with them on how to best submit data to the public register.

The Electronic Public Register currently hosts data for 310 of 326 local councils across England.
