Air Pollution: Yeovil
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to protect children in Yeovil constituency from air pollution.
Answered by Ashley Dalton
Children can be susceptible to the health effects from long and short-term exposure to air pollution. The 10-Year Health Plan for England sets out how the Government plans to reduce harmful air pollution, including through a review of the Environmental Improvement Plan, which will set out measures to reduce emissions and everyone’s exposure to air pollution, including those most vulnerable to its effects such as children. We will continue to work across Government to reduce the health harms from air pollution.
