Purpose of the consultation
The
Climate Change, Environment and Rural Affairs Committee (‘the Committee’) had
planned to undertake an inquiry into air quality.
The
consultation closed on Friday 07 February 2020. Unfortunately, work on this
inquiry was suspended in April 2020 to enable the Committee to focus its work
on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Committee would like to thank everyone
who has taken the time to contribute their views to this inquiry.
This
work coincided with the Welsh Government’s consultation, The Clean Air Plan for Wales
Healthy Air, Healthy Wales. The output from the Committee’s inquiry
intended to inform the development of the Welsh Government’s legislative
proposals for a Clean Air Act for Wales, which were expected to be published
before the end of this Senedd term.
The
Committee sought views on the Welsh Government’s legislative proposals relating
to clean air, as outlined in its consultation, The Clean Air Plan for
Wales Healthy Air, Healthy Wales,
including:
- What regulatory gaps or issues will need
to be addressed after the UK leaves the EU? How should these be addressed
and what will be the main challenges?
- Are the Welsh Government’s proposals for
a Clean Air Act appropriate? How could they be improved? What can be
learned from legislative approaches elsewhere?
- What are your views on the regulatory
proposals in relation to the Local Air Quality Management regime? What are
the main challenges in relation the proposed approach?
- What are your views on the regulatory
proposals relating to domestic combustion (including fireworks/bonfires),
road vehicle idling and Clean Air Zones/Low Emission Zones?
- What are the main challenges in
introducing a legislative framework for air quality as set out in the
consultation document?
The
consultation closed on Friday 07 February 2020.
