MPs urge environment secretary to adopt clean air provisions

Environment secretary Michael Gove has received a letter from 65 MPs calling on him to adopt key provisions of a Clean Air Bill as part of the government’s Clean Air Strategy.

The government opened a consultation on the Clean Air Strategy on 5 May after the High Court struck down its previous strategy in November 2016. The consultation closed on 15 June and the government is due to publish its final plan on 31 July.
