To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if his Department will provide updated guidance and advice to local authorities on how Clean Air Zone programmes are affected by the covid-19 lockdown.

Asked by:
Karin Smyth (Labour)

We are in active dialogue with all local authorities with nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) exceedances, including those planning Clean Air Zones (CAZs), and are continuing to provide them with specific support and guidance. We are clear that even in these challenging times, we are committed to delivering compliance with NO₂ limits in the shortest possible time and that NO₂ reduction measures, including CAZs, are still needed.
