House of Commons

The bill would require every local council to carry out a yearly audit of air pollution in its area, including emissions from both public bodies and private organisations nearby. Councils would publish a report on each audit, and the Secretary of State would report to Parliament every year on those audit findings. The aim is to improve transparency and oversight of air quality at local level.
The bill is currently at the Second Reading in the House of Commons and has not yet progressed to Committee scrutiny; if it advances, it would move to detailed examination before proceeding further.
