tabling member constituency	Hendon
tabling member printed	Dr Matthew Offord
uin	109092
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/10/2017 answer text <p>The spending of EU structural and investment funds is a devolved matter. Currently, in England, the total forecast expenditure on environmental objectives is €2,406m (€601m per annum) from 2017-18 to 2020-21. Expenditure will fluctuate from year to year depending on the flow of projects and the number of applications for the Regional Development Fund and the Rural Development Programme for England. The UK’s participation in the Funds after our departure from the EU is subject to the outcome of exit negotiations, but the government has guaranteed that all European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIFs) projects signed before we leave the EU, will be fully funded, even when these projects continue beyond the UK’s departure from the EU.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 30/10/2017 14:01:56 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss

Average measurements of nitrogen dioxide at roadside locations outside London have fallen by 16 to 18 percent since 2010.</p><p> </p><p>Defra’s national network of air quality monitors includes 279 sites across the UK. These are organised into networks that gather information for a wide range of pollutants on the state of the air in towns and cities as well as in rural areas. Some monitoring sites are also focused on measuring specific sources – e.g. road traffic or industry. All monitoring data is available on the UK Air website and is used to report levels of pollutants that impact on human health and ecosystems.</p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 31/10/2017 16:02:35 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey
