Written Question
Air Pollution
Friday 15th June 2018

Asked by: Justine Greening (Independent - Putney)

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, on what dates (a) he, (b) Ministers of his Department and (c) officials of his Department have met with the (i) Department for Transport and (ii) Heathrow Airport Limited to discuss air pollution since June 2017; and if he will place copies of the minutes of those meetings in the Library.

Answered by David Rutley - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

Defra Ministers and officials have frequent, ongoing engagement with DfT counterparts in relation to air pollution, particularly through the work of the Dft-Defra Joint Air Quality Unit and the recent development of the Clean Air Strategy, as well as in relation to Heathrow. The honourable Member for Putney has made a Freedom of Information request asking for similar information. My department will respond to that request by the deadline provided.
