Thank you, Presiding Officer. You would have noted that nine Members in addition to myself and the Cabinet Secretary took part in this debate. I think that’s a great sign of the importance people place in this policy area.

Simon Thomas started off and referred to the air directive that we base our current policy on, which comes from the European Union. This is key and was referred to several times in the debate, most passionately in a very pro-EU approach from Darren Millar, that we need to carry forward this framework and even improve upon it. He did then also mention the importance of indoor pollution, which is a key area.

Mohammad talked about the risks to children in particular, and David Rees then followed up and emphasised that vulnerable people are often in the most vulnerable urban areas and so get a double hit. It’s very, very important we’re aware of that. David also talked about the fact that air pollution is a world-wide killer and that the World Health Organization is trying to raise awareness of this and encourage Governments to improve approaches.

Suzy is a Volkswagen-owning abseiler, which is quite something, but, on Volkswagen, I think it’s important to remember that the consumer has been misled in this area, and it’s quite shocking, because, when people want to invest a bit more and improve their own performance in terms of emissions and reduce them, then they’ve been let down in this way. That’s no way to form the partnership we need with the public in terms of encouraging them to make good choices.

Suzy then talked about the low-emission strategy that would bring great benefits, a point that was taken further by Steffan, urging low-emission zones. The Minister seemed quite responsive to that and certainly wants to look at it. Steffan also talked about other approaches like using electronic buses, because buses do pollute quite a lot in urban areas.

Michelle Brown talked about cargo ships, something I’d not thought of. In terms of its impact, it is important. I mean, it is outside our jurisdiction mostly—not when they actually finally enter port—but it is something that needs to be looked at by states and Governments across the world. But it was a really important point, I thought, that was made and one often—well, I’d overlooked it, so possibly others have as well. So, thank you for that.

Rhianon Passmore talked about her own experience and that of her family. It does come down to this, doesn’t it? This impacts people and can have a real impact on health and well-being. As the representative of Crumlin talked about the role of the local authority in terms of trying to improve the situation there, it’s something that needs careful planning because, sometimes, if you can improve traffic flow, it just speeds it up and makes it a more popular route, and you’re back to where you began again.

Neil McEvoy started globally but got to Cardiff pretty quick. [Laughter.] I did agree with him on the metro. I thought that is really, really key.

Can I finally say I thought that the Cabinet Secretary made an outstanding response? You really took on what Members had said and took on the suggestions, and emphasised—you know, broadly, I think we would agree that there’s a good framework here. It’s not an area where we could say that there has been a lack of action, but we need to go further. The challenges are great. And, in particular, you have our support in looking at a low-emissions strategy, strengthening the EU directive, and using data more effectively across agencies—I thought that was a key point. An excellent debate, and I seem to, in my first minority party debate, be on the verge of a modest victory, so that encourages me to try harder again in future. Thanks.
