Part of 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Energy, Planning and Rural Affairs – in the Senedd at 1:59 pm on 29 November 2017.
Thank you again for your congratulations. Just to point out: I am the Minister, not the Cabinet Secretary. I don't want to upset my colleague at this early stage. Children and individuals are particularly susceptible to the effects of air pollution, and so local authorities do need to take a risk-based approach in looking at how we monitor the situation. But absolutely, I think we need to, going forward—. As I've said previously, it is a really important issue, and obviously with respect of planning, it is in the Cabinet Secretary's remit, so I'm sure we will be working together closely on this, going forward.
