DfT has been implementing this policy along with other protective security controls. At Report Stage of the Procurement Bill, the Government committed that, within six months of Royal Assent, the Government will set out the timeline for the removal of surveillance equipment supplied by companies subject to the National Intelligence Law of China from sensitive sites. DfT will be providing information to the Cabinet Office to support this commitment. It is a longstanding Government policy that specific security arrangements regarding Government estates are withheld on security grounds.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 06/07/2023 07:55:17 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/07/2023 answer text <p>Our Zero Emission Vehicle Transition is expected to have a transformative effect on air quality right across our country. Over time, this transition to electric vehicles, plus the increasing proportion of newer petrol and diesel vehicles which emit less pollution than older petrol and diesel vehicles, will mean that levels of nitrogen dioxide will continue to fall. Once nitrogen dioxide concentrations meet legal limit values and Government is confident these levels will be maintained without the measure, National Highways will be able to remove the 60mph speed limit introduced to manage poor air quality on the westbound carriageway.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency North West Durham answering member printed Mr Richard Holden question first answered 05/07/2023 14:29:25 answering member 4813 label Biography information for Mr Richard Holden
