To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what recent discussions the Environment Agency has had with (a) the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy and (b) the Health and Safety Executive on risks posed by the site operated by Rowan Oak Waste at Shaw Road in Dudley.
