The answer

Answered by Mairi McAllan on 31 Jan 2022 · 24 days after it was lodged, on time

The Scottish Government regularly engages with COSLA on air quality matters. However there have been no recent discussions on the specific issue of local authority powers to tackle vehicle idling, as the authorities themselves are best placed to make decisions on implementation.
