Environment and Climate Change Committee House of Lords
01:30 - 02:40
Speaker 1
Good morning, and welcome to this session of the Lord's Committee on the Environment and Climate Change. Today is our first session on our new inquiry, a short inquiry into waste crime, focusing on serious and organized waste crime. We will be taking evidence today from a panel of expert witnesses from the waste and environmental services sector. And I can take this opportunity to thank you all very warmly for being with us today and taking the time out of your busy schedules. I should remind everyone that the session is webcast live, and a transcript will be taken and made available to the public.
Witnesses will be able to review the transcript and make minor amendments if necessary. I should also remind members that any relevant interests should be declared the first time they speak. So may now turn to our panel and ask each of you to briefly introduce yourselves.

Speaker 2
Good morning. I'm Donald MacPhail. I am the Chief Operating Officer for Veolia's treatment business in the UK, and that means I look after all the integrated PFI contracts that manage waste for local authorities. I also look after material recycling facilities, Veolia's hazardous waste business, and the composting and landfill business.
