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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if she will give local and strategic authorities the guidance, resources and funding to tackle poor indoor air quality.

Local authorities play an important role in improving air quality. Defra and DHSC are working with other departments to strengthen the evidence base and consider how housing, planning and public health can support better outcomes. Local authorities are best placed to determine local priorities and allocate available resources accordingly.
