To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs when information on the number of fixed penalty notices issued for household waste receptacle offences in 2007-08 will be published. (270129)

Figures for fixed penalty notices (FPNs) for waste receptacle offences in 2007-08 are not yet available.

We expect to publish figures on FPNs issued for these and other environmental crimes for the years 2007-08 and 2008-09 on the DEFRA website in June 2009.
