Speaker 1
Order, order. The draft Clean Air Zones Central Services (Fees) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2026. And I call the Minister to move the motion, Minister Simon Lightwood.

Speaker 2
Thank you very much, it's a pleasure to serve with you in the chair, Mr. Wishart. I beg to move that the draft Clean Air Zones Central Services (Fees) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2026 be considered. They make two amendments to the Clean Air Zones Central Services (Fees) Regulations 2020. First, the regulations extend the period during which local authorities may be charged for using the Clean Air Zones Central Services website from the 31st of March 2027 to the 31st of March 2031. Second, they increase the fee that local authorities pay to use the services from £2 to £4 per transaction.
That's a step towards full cost recovery.
The regulations are due to take effect from the 1st of September 2026. It may benefit honorable members if I provide some context. As many are already aware, Clean Air Zones encourage green travel by charging older, more polluting vehicles a fee to enter that zone. They have been introduced selectively only where evidence shows they are the quickest way to reduce nitrogen dioxide concentrations in a local area and where other options would not deliver the same results as quickly.
