Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether his Department has plans to provide financial assistance to individuals from low-income households to enable them to retrofit their older diesel vehicles to reduce emissions of nitrogen dioxide.

There are currently no technologies available on the market to cost effectively retrofit diesel cars. Whilst the Government is taking steps to incentivise the development of new retrofit technologies, this is currently not a viable solution for cars in the short term.
