Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have decided which restrictions are to be introduced on access to major conurbations for Euro 6 emission standard compliant diesel engine powered vehicles.
Answered by Lord Callanan - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
In May 2017, the Government published a Clean Air Zone Framework for England setting out the expected approach to be taken by local authorities when implementing and operating Clean Air Zones. This does not include restrictions on Euro 6 vehicles. Local authorities are currently developing local plans to determine which measures are implemented and what their extent will be.

Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether documentation held by the Highways Agency on the M4 junctions smart motorway proposals includes any reference to the charging of motorists within those junctions.
Answered by Baroness Kramer - Liberal Democrat Lords Spokesperson (Treasury and Economy)
In order to make sure that the local community and road users have the opportunity to understand and comment on our proposals for the M4 Junctions 3 to 12 smart motorway scheme, we are undertaking a public consultation which will end on 21 December 2014.
The proposals do not include any reference to the charging of motorists, and therefore is not included in any of the documentation.
