Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of a payment plan system for those in financial hardship who have incurred fines for non-compliance with the Clean Air Zone rules.

Local authorities are responsible for the implementation and the enforcement of Clean Air Zones. Therefore, Penalty Charge Notices issued as a result of the non-payment of a Clean Air Zone charge would be an enforcement policy matter for them.
