Thank you. It is, of course, clean air week, and I have to say, Minister, that I had expected a statement or a significant announcement from you today, but all we’ve had, really, is echoing your commitment to a clean air Act for Wales, no further detail on the content of such an Act, and very little detail on the timetabling for bringing forward such legislation. So, what progress are you as a Government making in developing this legislation?

You say in your statement that you are committed to a clean air plan for Wales—I already knew that—but there’s been no progress. You’ve just referred to some vague date in the autumn for a consultation, but there's no mention of introducing such a plan. You say in your statement that you are committed to taking all possible steps to improve air quality. Well, where are those additional steps, rather than just some reference to things that you’ve already announced? All that’s contained within this statement is a rehash of previous announcements, and I have to say that that is extremely disappointing.

Now, Plaid Cymru, of course, has raised this issue regularly over the past few years. I remember debates in this Chamber, 12 months and more back, asking for urgent action. Dr Dai Lloyd is the chair of the cross-party group on a clean air Act in the Assembly. So, when will we see a clean air plan published? Not a consultation—when do you intend to bring a plan forward and implement it? When does this Government intend to table a clean air Bill before this Assembly? I had hoped that this Thursday would be the last Clean Air Day for Wales without there being legislation having been adopted and in place. And that, of course, would help us to tackle the scourge of air pollution once and for all. So, when will it happen? Because if we have to wait another 12 months, then what that means, of course, is that the Welsh Government will be suffering an additional 2,000 deaths as a result of air pollution because of those delays, and that is scandalous. It is a national scandal and it is disgraceful.

The Government, your Government and this Assembly has declared a climate emergency—a climate emergency. Public Health Wales has declared that air pollution is a public health crisis—a public health crisis. Now, I wasn’t expecting an update in this statement, not business as usual. It is time, now, for a change of gear and to put one’s foot down, but what we get is a Government on autopilot, and that isn’t acceptable.
