Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Rebecca Pow and Stephen Crabb

Thursday 6th February 2020 Commons Chamber

[Rebecca Pow]

I thank the hon. Gentleman for his question. Roadside pollution is a key area. Nitrogen dioxide is one of the serious issues tackled under our nitrogen dioxide plan. Local authorities have a legal duty to tackle high levels of pollution on roadsides, which is why we have introduced a comprehensive system to help local authorities to tackle it. We are also bringing down the rate of diesel cars on the market.
