Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what recent discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Transport on mitigating levels of air pollution emitted by heavy goods vehicles.
I have regular meetings with Department for Transport (DfT) Parliamentary Under Secretary, Trudy Harrison, as part of our collective oversight of the Joint Air Quality Unit (JAQU).
JAQU was established in 2016 as a joint Defra/ DfT unit to deliver compliance with roadside nitrogen dioxide concentration limit values via the UK NO2 Plan.
