answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/09/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>The membership of the European Environment and Health Ministerial Board (EHMB) comprises four environment Ministers, four health Ministers and four international institutions, appointed by the World Health Organization and the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe. The UK is not a member.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Government's policy position towards the eventual elimination of asbestos-related diseases is well established. The UK has a high rate of asbestos-related disease because of our past use of very high levels of asbestos. Consequently, our regulatory system for controlling occupational asbestos exposure is now one of the strictest in the EU. For example, we license and closely regulate contractors carrying out the highest-risk work with asbestos and we require more proactive management of asbestos in buildings and structures. Within Europe, the Government is focused on the need for active compliance with agreed EU measures and for any proposed new measures to be risk based, realistically achievable and the result of proper impact assessment. We remain determined to continue to reduce present exposures to minimise any future death toll.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Government signed the Minamata Convention in October last year. We expect that the UK will be in a position to ratify it by 2018 when EU and probable consequent UK legislation is in place to provide for full implementation. A legislative proposal is expected from the European Commission early next year, which will then be considered by the UK along with other Member States.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We recognise the importance of action to address air pollution and will consider carefully the initiative for a resolution at the World Health Assembly next year.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Government is committed to securing an ambitious, legally binding, global agreement with mitigation commitments for all by the 21st session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 21) in Paris, to come into force by 2020. We recognise the important link between tackling climate change and health, and welcome EHMB’s priority to support COP 21.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North Cornwall answering member printed Dan Rogerson question first answered 08/09/2014 13:30:43 answering member 1504 label Biography information for Dan Rogerson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/09/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>Public Health England (PHE) has begun developing a programme in support of national and local government to reduce the estimated 25,000 deaths each year in England attributable to air pollution. Long-term exposure to air pollution is understood to be a contributory factor to deaths from respiratory and, particularly, cardiovascular disease, i.e. unlikely to be the sole cause of deaths of individuals. This means that it is likely that air pollution contributes a smaller amount to the deaths of a larger number of exposed individuals rather than being solely responsible for a number of deaths equivalent to the calculated figure of ‘attributable deaths’.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Recognising the role of Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and measures already taken, PHE will work with national and local stakeholders and public health partners to develop advice and further actions which can be taken to reduce the health burden caused by particulate air pollution at the local authority level.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 08/09/2014 14:36:59 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
