Group 7: Regulation of smoke and fuel in smoke control areas (Amendments 62, 71, 81, 82)
Diolch, Llywydd. Amendment 62 would require Welsh Ministers through regulations to provide a list of exempt fireplaces. Having a list brought forward through regulations and discussed here in the Senedd does help us to scrutinise the Welsh Government…

Group 6: Action plans in relation to air quality management areas (Amendments 60, 61)

Group 5: Requirement to consult on national air quality and soundscapes strategies (Amendments 83, 84)
As we've heard, the amendments do add Transport for Wales as a named consultee. I consider the inclusion of the public to be broad enough to allow anyone in Wales to respond, including Transport for Wales. By naming TfW only, though, there is a fundamental…

Group 4: Promoting active travel as a way of reducing or limiting air pollution (Amendments 86, 87)
We will be supporting the amendments in the name of Huw Irranca-Davies today. It is right that active travel is promoted as a way of reducing or limiting air pollution. Whilst we have the active travel Act, we've seen that the Bill alone sadly has not done…

Diolch, Llywydd. If this Senedd is to treat air quality seriously, it does need to set challenging targets and ones that force the machinery of Government to move more quickly, and this amendment 48 does exactly that. In Stage 2, I tabled an amendment that…

I'd like to thank Delyth Jewell and Rhys ab Owen, and I think the three of us have made some really salient points. We want this Bill to go through, but we believe that it has to do exactly what we want it to do. It is so far behind; now is the time to…

Thank you. Well, firstly, it's not happening, and, (b), they're not being supported, because I can tell you. The main population hub for rural Conwy is the market town of Llanrwst. Forty-four per cent of residents have to travel more than 2 km to work. They…
