Sixty-five MPs have written to the environment secretary urging him to include the measures in his new strategy to tackle the air pollution crisisA cross party group of MPs is calling on Michael Gove to adopt a clean air bill in his new strategy to tackle the crisis of air pollution in the UK. Labour MP Geraint Davies, who introduced a clean air bill into the last parliament, said there was cross party support for the measures. The government’s plans to tackle air pollution have been found by judges to be so poor that they are unlawful. Gove has until the end of July to come up with a new air quality strategy which will cut emissions in the shortest possible time. The MPs, who include Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrat, SNP and Green members of parliament, called in their letter for Gove to implement the measures in the clean air bill in the new air quality strategy.
