Environmental Audit Committee Report On Air Quality

EDM number 1175 in 2009-10, proposed by Harry Cohen on 24/03/2010.
Categorised under the topics of Environmental protection and Pollution.

That this House congratulates the Environmental Audit Committee on its report making clear the deadly and costly effect of air pollution; notes its headline point that more could be done to prevent the deaths of up to 50,000 people each year and that in pollution hotspots vulnerable residents such as those with asthma, could be dying up to nine years early; notes also that the health costs are estimated at between £8.5 billion and £20.2 billion a year, with the added risk of substantial EU fines for failure to limit pollutants; and calls on all the major political parties to present in their election manifestos clear, effective and co-ordinated programmes for how they will deal with this exceptionally serious matter.

This motion has been signed by a total of 21 MPs.
