Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussion he has had with the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government on the effect of the £2 charge for access to the central services unit for clean air zones on local authority budgets.

There will be no impact on local authority budgets. All implementation and operational costs are either covered by central Government funding or from revenues raised from the charges that local authorities collect from customers that pay to drive in the clean air zone.
