Support for scrappage schemes to tackle air pollution

That this House welcomes the support that the government has given to combat air pollution by its allocation of £230million to clean air zones and scrappage schemes in Birmingham, Bristol, Bradford and Manchester; recognises the public health benefits of scrappage schemes in taking the most polluting vehicles off the roads; commends the Mayor of London for allocating £110million to a scrappage scheme for the expansion of the ULEZ in Greater London; notes with concern that to date, the government has refused to allocate any similar funding to London; and therefore urges the Secretary of State for Transport to remedy this discrimination against the people of London and to allocate funding to Transport for London for their scrappage scheme that is commensurate with London's vehicle numbers and population.
