Waste Industry: Criminality and Regulation

Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 February 2022. It occurred during Debate on Waste Industry: Criminality and Regulation.

I do not disagree with that, but does the Minister not find it remarkable that in 26 years of the landfill tax, HMRC has not had a single successful prosecution in connection with it? The only initiative that I am aware of is Operation Nosedive, where HMRC spent six years looking at it and £3.5 million of public money, and got nowhere. This is not about new regulations; it is about using the tools we have already got.
