PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Buses: Exhaust Emissions (23 June 2017)

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans he has to extend the availability of the Clean Bus Technology Fund to all buses; and whether his Department has a timetable for the retrofitting of all buses to reduce nitrogen dioxide and other particulate emission.

Asked by:
Rachael Maskell (Labour)

In the 2016 Autumn Statement, the Government committed a further £150 million in support for low emission buses and taxis, which includes support for retrofitting buses. As outlined in the draft UK Air Quality Plan for tackling nitrogen dioxide published for consultation in May 2017, we will publish further information on scheme design and timings later in 2017.
