To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she plans to introduce restrictions on the use of diesel vehicles beyond existing clean air and emissions schemes.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she plans to introduce restrictions on the use of diesel vehicles beyond existing clean air and emissions schemes.
The Government has set out its intention to phase out the sale of new pure petrol and diesel cars from 2030, and to phase out the sale of all new non-zero emission cars and vans from 2035. The Government has no plans to phase out petrol and diesel vehicles already in use or those sold before the phase out dates.
The Government has extensively assessed the impact of transitioning to zero emission vehicles and expects current petrol and diesel vehicle owners to benefit substantially from the lower running costs of switching to an electric vehicle, reduced air pollution, and reduced noise pollution.
The Department for Transport has published analysis of the whole-life environmental impact of electric vehicles available on GOV.UK. The analysis shows that, over their lifetime, electric cars are estimated to save at least 65% of greenhouse gas emissions compared to a petrol equivalent, and that this is likely to rise as renewable energy generation increases.

To ask His Majesty's Government, following the Written Answer by Lord Leong on 9 July (HL1468), what steps they are taking to ensure that the 484 zero emission buses to be funded by additional bus funding will be built in the UK.
To ask His Majesty's Government, following the Written Answer by Lord Leong on 9 July (HL1468), what steps they are taking to ensure that the 484 zero emission buses to be funded by additional bus funding will be built in the UK.
While the Government cannot mandate the purchase of British-built buses, at the final UK Bus Manufacturing Expert Panel, Mayoral Combined Authorities (MCAs) agreed to commit that a 10% minimum of social value criteria would apply in all future bus procurement exercises.
This means that when procuring buses, MCAs will consider the positive impact a manufacturer has on our society, the environment, and on the local community as part of their decision-making process.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has plans to review the regulation or guidance relating to emissions from helicopters operating from private helipads, particularly those near residential areas.

Noise controls for aerodromes are set through the local planning system where appropriate and enforcement is a matter for the local authority. Local authorities also have a duty to monitor air quality in their areas.
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) sets noise standards for helicopters. While ICAO sets engine emissions standards for commercial aircraft, these do not apply to helicopters. The environmental and public health impacts of emissions from helicopters operating from private helipads are likely to be very small and there is no routine monitoring of these emissions.
The Department has no plans to review the regulation or guidance relating to emissions from helicopters operating from private helipads.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment her Department has made of the adequacy of existing arrangements for monitoring emissions from helicopters operating from private helipads.

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer from Lord Leong on 29 June (HL1212), what plans they have to support the UK bus manufacturing industry.
The Government is supporting the UK bus manufacturing industry through DRIVE35, which backs the design, development and manufacture of zero emission vehicles, including buses. This will help UK manufacturers and suppliers invest in new technologies, scale up production and strengthen domestic capability. In March, the Government announced £73.2 million in additional zero emission bus funding to support the delivery of 484 zero- emission buses across 10 projects in England. The Government has also published a 10-year zero-emission bus order pipeline, updated twice yearly, to give manufacturers greater visibility of future demand.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of road transport on national air pollution levels.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of road transport on national air pollution levels.
Government publishes an annual estimate of the contribution of different sources to air pollutant emissions, including road transport. This information is available at: www.gov.uk/government/statistics/emissions-of-air-pollutants.
Annual UK domestic emissions of nitrogen oxides and fine particulate matter from road transport decreased by 73 per cent and 56 per cent respectively between 2005 and 2024. However, road transport remains the largest sole contributor to both nitrogen oxides and fine particulate matter emissions.
That is why the Department for Transport is committed to cleaning up our air and protecting the public from the harms of pollution. The Department is reducing road transport air pollution by supporting the transition to zero emission vehicles to eliminate tailpipe emissions, addressing particulate pollution from tyre and brake wear, and working with local authorities to tackle pollution hotspots.

My hon. Friend makes an excellent point, and he is absolutely right. The heat dome that we have been experiencing interacts with pollution and gives us extra ozone and causes huge health problems. I do not know—perhaps the Minister can tell us, if his officials are on the ball on...
