The Government will take into account all factors that need to be considered in regulating the sale of the most polluting fuels. This includes the types of emissions from different fuels, the air quality benefits, and the impacts on business and households of switching to cleaner fuels.
Our assessments of emissions of pollutants from domestic combustion sources use a range of data but are based on established international reporting. The range of fuels and appliances used in the UK is large and emissions from each combination vary greatly depending on how the appliance is operated. Emission factors for wood can also vary due to the differences in moisture content and fuel density.
In compiling our National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory we use a combination of guidebook emissions factors for different combinations of fuels and appliances, alongside UK specific data on regional fuel and appliance usage.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how section 3(1)(c) of the Poisons Act 1972 is enforced for online retailers.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how section 3(1)(c) of the Poisons Act 1972 is enforced for online retailers.
The Poisons Act 1972 requires a supplier to report any relevant transaction(s) that they deem to be suspicious that involve substances listed in Part 3 of Schedule 1A.
Our policy is based on the following key strands:
Effective partnerships with relevant trade associations, suppliers and online retailers to help them understand which products are within scope of the Act, what action they should take to ensure compliance. Working with them and providing guidance to ensure they are able to spot and report suspicious transactions in a timely fashion.
Effective law enforcement by providing guidance to police officers on identifying non-compliance, preventing attacks, searching potential perpetrators for harmful substances and responding to victims at the scene.
Identifying where less harmful alternatives are available which achieve the same legitimate use.
Ensuring legislation covering the use of substances listed in Part 3 of Schedule 1A to the Poisons Act 1972 including acid and other corrosives is fit for purpose, that it is understood and consistently applied.
