Group 6: Stationary idling (Amendments 72, 50, 51, 80, 57, 81)
Thank you. I would like to speak to two of my amendments, amendments 50 and 51. I submitted amendment 50, which seeks to remove section 21 relating to the new fixed-penalty provisions. I do not agree with what the Bill proposes. I think it is completely…

Well, I've got to be honest; I've sat through quite a few of these now and led on amendments, but, I have to be honest, I think this is the kind of spirit that I like to see law coming through. I'd like to thank Delyth for your contribution then, and, of…

Group 5: Active travel (Amendments 40, 73, 18, 41, 63, 64, 65)
Thank you, Chair. Amendment 40 inserts a new provision under 'Promoting awareness about air pollution' that requires Welsh Ministers to promote awareness in Wales of the links between active travel and reducing or emitting air pollution. Considering that this…

Group 4: Air quality targets: Reporting, reviews and monitoring progress (Amendments 31, 33, 34, 70, 71, 39, 4, 13)
Thank you, Chair. Amendment 31 requires Welsh Ministers to publish a report on why a target has not been met within six months of the statement being laid. In the Bill's current form, this is 12 months. I submitted this amendment as I think a year is just too…
