Speech in Westminster Hall - Wed 29 Jun 2016
Dog Fighting

"I think we are all astounded that we hear these points being made in 2016. This underground behaviour is being allowed and sustained through a combination of organised work and dog breeding, and people are making money off pets that should be looked after. That is abhorrent behaviour.

Written Question
Air Pollution
Tuesday 15th September 2015

Asked by: Mims Davies (Conservative - East Grinstead and Uckfield)

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment she has made of the effectiveness of air quality action plans in tackling local pockets of air pollution.

Answered by Rory Stewart

The Government published the report ‘Review of Effectiveness of Local Authority Action Plans (LAQM) and Future Policy Options for LAQM’ in 2013, which looked at a broad selection of local authorities with Air Quality Management Areas that ranged from hotspots to large areas of exceedance. This report concluded that although the review and assessment part of the LAQM regime was working very well, though too bureaucratic, some improvements could also be made to the action planning process.

We are currently reviewing the Local Air Quality Management system to reduce bureaucracy and enable greater focus on taking action, and intend to consult on a streamlined reporting system and revised guidance later this year.
