The motion

That this House celebrates Clean Air Day on 19 June, which is coordinated by Global Action Plan to bring together communities, businesses, education and the health sector to improve public understanding of air pollution, build awareness of how air pollution affects our health and explain some of the easy things we can all do to tackle air pollution to help protect our health and the environment; notes that air pollution is associated with between 29,000 and 43,000 deaths a year in the UK; further notes that the World Health Organization, the UK Government and the Welsh Government recognise that air pollution is one of the largest environmental threats to our health; commends those taking part in Clean Air Day by committing to healthy travel charters and tree planting projects; and calls on the UK and devolved governments to take decisive action to reduce the levels of toxic air pollution on our roads by advocating for cleaner transport options.
