Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking to support local authorities with the enforcement of anti-idling legislation.

Local Authorities are able to issue fixed penalty notices under The Road Traffic (Vehicle Emissions) (Fixed Penalty) (England) Regulations 2002. As set out in the Government’s response to the Joint Committee on Air Quality we are modernising the guidance on use of these powers, which will then be re-issued.
