question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans are in place for Highways England to share real time data from its National Air Quality Monitoring Network; and when they estimate those data will be publicly available.
tabling member printed	Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb
uin	HL8320
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/09/2020 answer text <p>Highways England has no plans in place to make real-time air quality monitoring data from its network publicly available. When Highways England developed its network, it worked with both Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) and the Environment Agency to explore opportunities to integrate its air quality monitoring network with DEFRA’s online real-time monitoring. Health and safety issues associated with the placing of air quality monitoring stations next to strategic roads meant they were not consistent with the requirements of DEFRA’s system and consequently it was not possible to integrate the Highways England monitoring in to their online reporting.</p><p> </p><p>Highways England produces annual reports of all data collected by its monitoring stations, which are available on request.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 28/09/2020 13:43:42 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton

tabling member printed	Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb
uin	HL1762
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/03/2020 answer text <p>The airspace issues surrounding National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) were considered in the Department’s airspace and noise project. The outcome of this work was reflected in the Air Navigation Guidance 2017, which the department issued to the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) in October 2017.</p><p> </p><p>The guidance requires the CAA to have regard to the statutory purposes of National Parks and AONB when considering proposals for airspace changes. When airspace changes are being considered, it is important that local circumstances, including community views on specific areas that should be avoided, are taken into account where possible. However, given the finite amount of airspace available, it will not always be possible to avoid overflying National Parks or AONB.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 09/03/2020 17:04:18 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
