Government response to the damning criticisms of the Environmental Audit Committee Air Quality Report is out today.

http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201012/cmselect/cmenvaud/1820/182005.htm

It is highly supportive of local campaigns :

"57. The Government strongly supports and welcomes campaigns to improve understanding of the public health impact of air pollution at local level and agrees that better public awareness is vital. There are already many locally-led campaigns to improve understanding and to encourage positive action to reduce emissions and exposure....The Government has supported similar campaigns [to London no-idling ] elsewhere in the UK and would like to see a wider range of organisations taking part in this activity and so raising public awareness of what individuals, businesses and public authorities can do themselves to improve air quality and to reduce their own impact. It is also essential to raise understanding of the measures and choices that must be made if we are to achieve improvements over the long term."

Elsewhere it says

"para 46 NOX emissions from diesel vehicles in both urban and extra-urban conditions have not, however, reduced significantly as a result of the Euro standards to date."

I wonder if as well as petitioning for "green buses", we should ask for a government health warning to be put on all diesels and get all new ones painted khaki-brown (along the same lines as fag packets.)
