Written Question
Motor Vehicles: Exhaust Emissions
Thursday 3rd May 2018

Asked by: Martin Vickers (Conservative - Brigg and Immingham)

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what plans he has to allocate funding to small and medium-sized enterprises to meet the (a) cost of replacing commercial vehicles that are no longer compliant with and (b) other costs arising from the implementation of Clean Air Zones.

Answered by Baroness Coffey

In July 2017, the Government published the UK Plan for tackling roadside nitrogen dioxide concentrations and announced a £255 million Implementation Fund for 28 local councils to accelerate their air quality plans in order to achieve compliance with legal NO2 limits as soon as possible. Where these local plans identify Clean Air Zones as the appropriate measure the Implementation Fund will be available to cover associated implementation costs.

The Government has also announced £220 million for the Clean Air Fund, which will allow these local authorities to apply for funds to mitigate the impact of their plans on local businesses.
