Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will bring forward legislative proposals for a car scrappage scheme that extends to all cars.

The Government is not proposing to take forward a national scrappage scheme at this time given concerns as to the deliverability and value for money of scrappage schemes. However, it has committed to helping local authorities support individuals and businesses affected by local air quality plans, via the £220 million Clean Air Fund.
