How much in total has Natural Resources Wales levied in fines for instances of environmental infringements since 2013?
Answered by Minister for Climate Change | Answered on 30/10/2023
Natural Resources Wales (NRW) does not levy fines. Any fines which result from NRW's enforcement actions (prosecutions) are imposed by the courts and are paid into the Central Governments’ Consolidated Fund.
NRW’s enforcement actions have significantly increased in recent years and the courts have imposed a combined total value of over £2.4m in relation to environmental infringements.
