Motion Text

That this House is concerned about the damage to health caused by air pollution in the UK; recognises the public's desire to tackle air pollution and to be given guidance on how to cut and avoid air pollution from a trusted, independent, medically-sound source; acknowledges the success of 2017’s National Clean Air day which established a public information service and increased the public's understanding of air pollution; welcomes the announcement that Clean Air Day 2018 will be held on 21 June 2018; notes that the Government does not provide information on how members of the public can play a part in tackling air pollution; and calls on the Government to fund the Clean Air Day to ensure the public continues to be provided with clear advice on air quality matters.
