First Delegated Legislation Committee: The draft Pollution Prevention and Control (Fees) (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2026

Parliamentary debate

The Delegated Legislation Committee will review the draft Pollution Prevention and Control (Fees) (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2026. These regulations adjust the fees charged to businesses for environmental permits and compliance under the Pollution Prevention and Control regime. The debate will scrutinise whether the fee changes are proportionate, justified, and properly calibrated to maintain environmental standards without imposing undue costs on regulated industries.

This affects businesses across manufacturing, energy generation, waste management, and chemical production that require environmental permits. Fee changes influence operational costs for polluting industries and the ability of the Environment Agency to enforce pollution controls. The outcome determines how environmental compliance is funded and whether protections remain adequately resourced.
