Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 4:54 pm on 18 September 2019.
I would also draw on what David Melding has said about the Conservative benches bringing forward the 'Liveable Cities' document, which is now some 12 or 18 months old, with real solutions for some real quick wins that we can achieve in this particular area. And I would urge the Government to redouble its efforts in this particular field.
I am grateful for the Brexit Party's contribution as well and the indication of support from Caroline Jones and Mandy Jones, because we do know that, yes, transport is a big player in this, and many people turning to electric cars has been part of the solution and moving forward on that agenda, but we also know that brake pads and tyre particles in the air still account for 40 per cent of the particle matter that is breathed in by citizens the length and breadth of Wales. So, I would hope that Members will support the motion that's before them today, amended by the acceptable amendment that we've taken from Plaid Cymru, and reject the 'delete all' amendment that was put down by the Government, which is bitterly regrettable in what should be a consensual debate.
