	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2018 answer text <p>As set out in the government’s response to the Improving Air Quality report, HM Treasury sees tax and spending policy as playing an important role in tackling climate change and reducing air pollution. For spending measures, HM Treasury scrutinises departments’ application of the Green Book’s guidance, including air quality impacts, on an ongoing basis.</p><p>With regard to incorporating air quality pollutants into vehicle taxation, laboratory tests cannot currently measure NOx to a level of accuracy comparable with real-world driving emissions. Therefore, the VED system is based on CO2 only, as this allows for a banded system to be implemented. At Autumn Budget 2017, the government announced a temporary levy on new diesel cars to encourage manufacturers to bring forward the next generation clean diesels.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 16/10/2018 15:34:23 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
