Proceeding contribution from Fiona Mactaggart (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 April 2017. It occurred during Urgent question on Air Quality Strategy.


Air Quality Strategy

If the present rate continues, there will be seven more dead people in Slough by the date on which the Secretary of State publishes the air quality plan. The whole point of purdah is that announcements should not be made unless they are significant in the context of urgent health issues. Is this not an urgent health issue? What will the Secretary of State say to the families of those seven people who will die before she even publishes?
