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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what recent steps he has taken with (a) the Secretary of State for Levelling up, Housing and Communities and (b) local authorities to increase public awareness of the environmental impacts of domestic wood burning.

Defra works closely with local authorities on all matters pertaining to air quality, including through providing relevant training and resources.

Local authorities are also able to bid for funding for projects to tackle emissions in their communities through our annual Local Air Quality Grant. We have committed to spend at least £6million on such projects this year.
