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

To ask His Majesty's Government how many prosecutions have resulted from the work of the Joint Waste Crime Unit since 2020.

This data is not held centrally by the Government.  The cross-agency nature of Joint Unit for Waste Crime’s (JUWC) operations means that interventions and activities will be carried out for a range of different offences. Outcomes, including prosecutions, will be pursued by different agencies (including police) to different end-results.  Alongside operations that lead to arrests, a major focus of the JUWC's work is the prevention and disruption of waste crime through other methods.
