question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Sugg on 20 September (HL10301), whether they have considered implementing a target for NOX emissions to be reduced to 4 per cent by 2025; and if so, how much of this improvement is dependent on (1) vehicle design, and (2) policies to reduce traffic congestion.
tabling member printed	Lord Bradshaw
uin	HL10536
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2018 answer text <p>There is no target to reduce NOX emissions by 4 per cent by 2025. However, all local authorities with levels of NO2 exceedance must achieve legal compliance in the shortest possible time. Measures that could be implemented to achieve this might include reducing NOX emissions from buses by retrofitting them to a minimum Euro VI standard, purchasing low and ultra-low emission buses, implementing bus priority measures and encouraging mode shift to public transport to help reduce traffic congestion.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 24/10/2018 13:16:41 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg
