Question
to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will revise sentencing for fly-tipping to include a community service element to all sentences in addition to fines.
Answered by Jo Churchill
Ending the menace of fly-tipping is a priority – and measures such as digital waste tracking and improvements to waste licensing will significantly enhance our ability to prosecute waste criminals. Whilst sentencing is a matter for the independent courts, they already have powers to impose punishments of up to five years imprisonment and an unlimited fine, in the most serious instances, as well as community orders, when they see it as appropriate.

Question
to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment he has made of the compliance of his Department's staff working from home with the Working Time Regulations 1998.
Answered by Baroness Prentis of Banbury
We have not made a central assessment of the compliance of staff working from home against the Working Time Regulations (WTR) 1998. While we do not centrally monitor or hold records of employees’ working time (whether working from home, a Defra workplace or other location), we do ask managers and employees to ensure compliance and keep local records in accordance with WTR 1998.
