PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Air Pollution: Greater Manchester (25 January 2023)

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, when she intends to respond to Clean Air Greater Manchester's proposal for an investment-led, non-charging clean air zone in that region; and whether it is her policy to support that proposal.

Asked by:
Andrew Western (Labour)

We have reviewed the proposals provided by Greater Manchester authorities. Local plans must ensure compliance with legal nitrogen dioxide limits is achieved in the shortest possible time, and at present there is insufficient evidence to enable us to assess if the proposals do so. We have requested further evidence from Greater Manchester authorities to enable us to consider their plans further.
