Ministers said permitted sites will have to record waste arrivals in a central system within two working days, backed by a £26 annual operator fee and tougher penalties; MPs broadly supported the move but pressed for clarity on system costs, who will run it, links with devolved schemes and further action on fly-tipping and nitrous oxide canisters.

Peers backed the first phase of a new system requiring permitted waste sites to record received waste digitally within two working days, while pressing ministers on enforcement, exemptions and whether the promised full end-to-end tracking system will cover all producers when it expands to around 100,000 operators from October 2027.
