Fly-tipping: Forests
Asked by: Sarah Dyke (Liberal Democrat - Glastonbury and Somerton) Monday 20th April 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how many instances of fly tipping have been recorded on the public forest estate in each of the last 10 years. Answered by Mary Creagh - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) Forestry England and Forestry Commission are required to report operational waste volumes by category under the Greening Government Commitments (GGC) to Defra. There is no requirement to record or report the number of fly-tipping incidents.
Due to the size of our estate and available resources, it has historically proven impractical to systematically record all instances of fly tipping. Forestry England does not therefore hold complete historical records for the period requested. The number of instances that have been recorded across the public forest estate are as follows:
2016-17: 18 instances 2017-18: 11 instances 2018-19: 111 instances 2019-20: 88 instances 2020-21: 164 instances 2021-22: 116 instances 2022-23: 76 instances 2023-24: 683 instances 2024-25: 57 instances 2025-26: 53 instances
Since 2023-24 Forestry England has put in place additional mechanisms to record collected waste categorised as fly tip through our national waste contract with Green Zone. This has been recorded in tonnes, rather than as individual instances. Reported data for the past three financial years:
2023-24: 218.98 tonnes 2024-25: 181.01 tonnes 2025-26: 178.62 tonnes |

Glass: Deposit Return Schemes
Asked by: Sarah Dyke (Liberal Democrat - Glastonbury and Somerton) Wednesday 15th April 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether her Department asked the Office for the Internal Market for advice on the potential impact of agreeing to the Welsh Government's exclusion from the internal market for single-use glass containers in the Deposit Return Scheme in Wales. Answered by Mary Creagh - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) The UK Government did not refer the Welsh Government's proposal for a UKIM exclusion for its Deposit Return Scheme to the Office for Internal Market (OIM) for advice. As part of our commitments in the review of the UK Internal Market Act in 2025, the UK Government is working with devolved Governments to implement a system for joint referrals by all Governments to the OIM for advice, earlier in policy development and to inform the decision-making process. |

Glass: Deposit Return Schemes
Asked by: Sarah Dyke (Liberal Democrat - Glastonbury and Somerton) Wednesday 15th April 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how glass containers subject to a 0p deposit under the Deposit Return Scheme in Wales between 2027-2031 will be identified as (a) separate to packaging obligated for Extended Producer Responsibility in the rest of the UK. Answered by Mary Creagh - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) Following the launch of the DRS in Wales in October 2027, glass drinks in scope of DRS sold into Wales will fall out of the packaging EPR system and no longer have household recycling fee obligations. Instead, they will be captured by the Welsh Government’s DRS regulations. PackUK is working closely with the Welsh Government to confirm processes and enable producers to report materials into the correct scheme. |

Glass: Deposit Return Schemes
Asked by: Sarah Dyke (Liberal Democrat - Glastonbury and Somerton) Wednesday 15th April 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the Welsh Deposit Return Scheme adopting (a) a unique exemption threshold for single-use glass of 25 tonnes and (b) not including (i) turnover in exemption thresholds or (ii) alignment with the Low Volume Exemption on (A)UK interoperability and (B) producers. Answered by Mary Creagh - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) We have not carried out an impact assessment on Welsh Government devolved policy. |

Packaging: Recycling
Asked by: Sarah Dyke (Liberal Democrat - Glastonbury and Somerton) Thursday 16th April 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what her Department's planned timeframe is to (a) consult on and (b) legislate for additional criteria for the exemption of non-household waste from Extended Producer Responsibility disposal fees and obligations. Answered by Mary Creagh - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) We are continuing to work with stakeholders on the treatment of dual-use packaging and packaging that is unlikely to enter the household waste stream. There is no date set for consultation or legislation at this stage for any additional criteria for exemption from packaging Extended Producer Responsibility disposal fee obligations. Any future changes would need to be workable, enforceable, and protect the operational integrity of the scheme across all business models. |

Glass: Deposit Return Schemes
Asked by: Sarah Dyke (Liberal Democrat - Glastonbury and Somerton) Thursday 16th April 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether single use glass containers sold in Wales before October 2027 will be exempt from disposal costs fees under Extended Producer Responsibility. Answered by Mary Creagh - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) Glass drinks containers across the UK, including in Wales, are subject to packaging Extended Producer Responsibility data reporting, disposal fees and recycling obligations. The temporary exemption from disposal fees before the Deposit Return Scheme goes live in 2027 applies to steel, aluminium, and PET plastic drinks containers. |

Packaging: Recycling
Asked by: Sarah Dyke (Liberal Democrat - Glastonbury and Somerton) Thursday 16th April 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what discussions she has had with Cabinet colleagues on the potential impact of the arrangements for excluding non-household waste from Extended Producer Responsibility disposal fees and obligation on businesses. Answered by Mary Creagh - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) The Secretary of State has discussions with Cabinet colleagues on a range of issues, including packaging Extended Producer Responsibility’s impact on businesses. We are aware of industry concerns about producers being charged disposal fees for packaging that is disposed of through commercial waste streams, and we continue to work with stakeholders to find an approach that balances those concerns with the operational integrity of the scheme. |

Deposit Return Schemes: Small Businesses
Asked by: Sarah Dyke (Liberal Democrat - Glastonbury and Somerton) Thursday 16th April 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether conditions of appointment were included for the UK Deposit Management Organisation Ltd to ensure that small producers were adequately represented on its board. Answered by Mary Creagh - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) The UK Deposit Management Organisation Ltd (UK DMO)’s board structure includes representation from a small producer.
In addition, as part of the UK DMO’s Conditions of Appointment, the DMO’s Advisory Group must include representation of small scheme producers. The DMO Board must seek the views of the Advisory Group before adopting any decision relating to matters on which the UK DMO is required to consult under the Regulations and must take those views into account in its decision making. |

Fertilisers: Supply Chains
Asked by: Sarah Dyke (Liberal Democrat - Glastonbury and Somerton) Thursday 23rd April 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the Iran conflict on the supply of synthetic nitrogen fertiliser. Answered by Angela Eagle - Minister of State (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) Some of the UK’s trade partners import fertilisers from the Middle East, either for onward shipment to the UK or for production inputs, creating indirect dependencies. Defra is in close contact with domestic fertiliser suppliers and is monitoring overall supply to the UK. There is no immediate risk to UK supply. However, the fertiliser market is a global market, and the market price in the UK is strongly influenced by international prices for fertiliser and by the value of the pound. The Government is aware of the current price increase for fertiliser and remains ready to support businesses as effectively as possible in these challenging times. |

Fertilisers: Agriculture
Asked by: Sarah Dyke (Liberal Democrat - Glastonbury and Somerton) Thursday 23rd April 2026 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what estimate her Department has made of the volume of synthetic nitrogen fertiliser held in storage in the UK. Answered by Angela Eagle - Minister of State (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) The UK is not facing an immediate fertiliser supply issue, but price rises have been felt immediately. The UK imported below 1% of its fertilisers directly from the Gulf region in 2025 and so direct imports from the region are negligible.
Fertiliser delivery by suppliers is based on orders placed by farmers according to the crops planned to be grown, with typically no long-term storage of fertiliser. Defra is in contact with domestic fertiliser suppliers and is monitoring overall supply to the UK. Through its close relationships with industry, the Government remains ready to support businesses as effectively as possible in these challenging times.

Airlines and Travel Agents: Repayments
Asked by: Sarah Dyke (Liberal Democrat - Glastonbury and Somerton) Friday 24th April 2026 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has had discussions with the travel agent sector on the processing of refunds where an airline has cancelled a flight and confirmed that passengers are entitled to a refund without a penalty fee. Answered by Keir Mather - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) The Department has had discussions with travel agents and airlines on a range of issues.
In the UK, Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 (“Regulation 261”) sets out the rights of passengers in the event of flight cancellations.
Where UK law applies, if a flight is cancelled by the airline, passengers are entitled to a choice between a full refund or re-routing.
Where a flight booking has been made through a travel agent, passengers should, in the first instance, contact the agent in cases such as flight cancellations.
The Department’s Air Passenger Travel Guide provides passengers with information on their rights and responsibilities when travelling by air, including a dedicated section on cancellations. |

Airlines and Travel Agents: Armed Conflict
Asked by: Sarah Dyke (Liberal Democrat - Glastonbury and Somerton) Friday 24th April 2026 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department has issued guidance on the application of the ‘Act of War’ clause for customers of travel agents and airlines; and whether there are regulatory protections in place to ensure passengers receive appropriate refunds. Answered by Keir Mather - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) In the UK, Regulation 261/2004 sets out the rights of passengers in the event of cancellations, long delays and denied boarding.
Where UK law applies, if a flight is cancelled by the airline, then passengers would be entitled to a choice between a full refund or to be re-routed. These rights would apply if disruption were linked to war.
Information on air passenger rights is already available in the Department’s Air Passenger Travel Guide, and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) recently provided specific advice to passengers in response to the Middle East disruption. |
