	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2019 answer text <p>The UK has ambitious targets in place to reduce emissions of five damaging air pollutants (ammonia, nitrogen oxides, non-methane volatile organic compounds, fine particulate matter and sulphur dioxide) by 2020 and 2030. We have put in place a £3.5 billion plan to reduce harmful emissions from road transport, and we will end the sale of new conventional diesel and petrol cars and vans by 2040. Our new and world leading Clean Air Strategy, published on 14 January, focuses on broader emissions beyond road transport and sets goals working towards World Health Organisation recommendations on particulate matter emissions – going further than the EU requires.</p><p> </p><p>Air pollution has reduced significantly since 2010 – emissions of toxic nitrogen oxides have fallen by almost 27%, and are at their lowest level since records began. However, there is more to do, and by requiring comprehensive action from all parts of government and society, we will be able to continue to cut air pollution and save lives.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 16/01/2019 12:43:21 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/01/2019 answer text <p>Based on available data sources (IMS, company supplied figures and NHS Prescription Cost Analysis Data), we estimate that approximately 900,000 adrenaline auto-injectors were issued throughout 2017 across the United Kingdom. Analysis of year on year data suggests an upward trend in the number of devices supplied, so the required volume is likely to exceed 900,000 in 2019.</p> answering member printed Baroness Manzoor question first answered 22/01/2019 16:01:04 answering member 4289 label Biography information for Baroness Manzoor
