answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/01/2019 answer text <p>The government has allocated £3.5 billion to improve air quality. There are a number of different ways this is being spent. For those areas identified in the 2017 Air Quality Plan as eligible for assistance from the clean air fund, it is for local authorities to consider what grants they may wish to apply for, including support for changes in transport. The Government’s Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) offers a comprehensive support package enabling the take up of Ultra Low Emission Vehicles (ULEVs) including cars, vans, taxis, buses and motorcycles; grants for supporting consumers install charging infrastructure and funding for local authorities to support those households without off street parking. There is also support for businesses to install charge points at workplaces.</p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 28/01/2019 08:08:43 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey
