To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in making their decision about how to vote on the
implementation of real driving emissions tests at the 28 October meeting of the Technical
Committee on Motor Vehicles, whether they took into account (1) estimates from DEFRA
and Public Health England that pollution from mono-nitrogen oxides is responsible
for 23,500 premature deaths in the UK per annum, (2) the 2010 estimates from the WHO
suggesting that air-pollution related deaths cost the UK $83,069 per annum, (3) the
failure of London, Leeds, and Birmingham to maintain nitrogen dioxide levels within
legal limits over the past five years, and (4) the Supreme Court’s ruling in <i>R
(on the application of ClientEarth) v Secretary of State for the Environment, Food
and Rural Affairs </i>[2015] UKSC 28 on 29 April that they should take immediate action
to tackle air pollution.
