As my colleague said earlier, the World Health Organization states that 29,000 people in the UK are affected by premature deaths due to air pollution, and 1,500 by road accidents. Listening to what has been said around the Chamber in this debate is very worrying, and it’s good to hear the warm words from every AM. But, I think probably part of the reason I’m stood here now, actually, is the huge contradiction between the warm words in this Chamber from the Labour Members and the reality and results of their policies.

[Interruption.] I’ll give way.
