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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether her Department has a policy that requires proactive air-quality warnings to be sent to news media ahead of forecast pollution episodes or when an Information alert threshold for tropospheric ozone is exceeded.

The Government provides air quality information through established channels to support public awareness. We will keep our approach to communicating air quality information under review and will continue to consider the most effective ways of ensuring relevant information is available to the public and stakeholders.
