answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2017 answer text <p>We have not undertaken a specific assessment of the level of pollution produced by equipment and vehicles operating on building sites in town and city centres. Our annual emission statistics set out pollution by source, including from manufacturing industries and construction. The latest statistics to 2015 are available at: <a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/emissions-of-air-pollutants" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/statistics/emissions-of-air-pollutants</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Machinery used on building sites is likely to be classed as non-road mobile machinery (NRMM). The UK Government has been actively involved in developing new legislation for NRMM at a European level. In January this year, new legislation came into force with more stringent emission limits for major air pollutants from engines used in NRMM. This extends the scope of existing legislation to cover all sizes of petrol and diesel engines used in NRMM and improves the legal framework. The new emission standards are mandatory for new engines being sold, for the first tranche of categories, from January 2019.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 19/07/2017 09:51:31 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2017 answer text <p>Any new trade deals must be right for UK consumers, businesses and farmers, and ensure food safety, environmental protection, and animal welfare standards.</p><p> </p><p>The UK has transposed EU Council Directive 96/22/EC (as amended) into national law ‘<em>Animals and Animal Products (Examination for Residues and Maximum Residue Limits)(England and Scotland) Regulations 2015</em>', with similar legislation for Wales and Northern Ireland, which prohibits the use of artificial growth hormones in both domestic production and imported products. This protection will continue after we exit the EU.</p><p> </p><p>The European Union (Withdrawal) Bill, published last week, will ensure that the UK exits the EU with certainty, continuity and control. The purpose of the Bill is to convert EU law into UK law as it applies in the UK at the moment of exit. This will apply to the laws and rules we have now, and will update references to EU Council Directive 96/22/EC in our national laws.</p><p> </p><p>Our high environmental and food standards will not be diminished or diluted as a result of leaving the EU or establishing free trade deals with other countries.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 19/07/2017 10:32:20 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
