Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether he will take steps to give powers to the London Assembly to regulate Non-Road Mobile Machinery, in response to the findings of the London Assembly Environment Committee’s recent Clean Air for All Londoners report.
The Greater London Authority (GLA) already runs a successful scheme for reducing emissions from construction equipment within London. We continue to consider ways to reduce pollutant emissions from the construction sector, whilst ensuring we are able to build the homes, hospitals, schools and infrastructure the country needs.
