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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, when he last met representatives of the Environmental Services Association; and if he will make a statement.

Policy Officials regularly meet with representatives of the Environmental Services Association (ESA) formally and informally to discuss a range of policy matters. We also engage with the Environmental Services Association as part of our formal stakeholder engagement process. The ESA are a member of the Resources and Waste Strategy Stakeholder Advisory Group, which meets quarterly.
