20 Jan 2026
Air Pollution in England Environmental Audit Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions Air pollution is a serious threat to both public health and the natural environment. It has been linked to heart disease, strokes, cancer, asthma and impacts on lung development in children. Tens of thousands of lives are being shortened in the UK by air pollution, according to the Chair of the Environment Agency. Through the inquiry, MPs will also consider whether local authorities in England have the resources they need to monitor air quality and enforce existing rules. MPs may consider examples of best practice abroad, and what lessons these might have for policy in England. The new inquiry is the result of the Committee’s ‘The Environment in Focus’ exercise, which saw MPs hear pitches for their next inquiry from a range of academic experts and advocates. The winning pitch was given by Jemima Hartshorn, founder of campaign group Mums for Lungs and Dr Nat Easton, who researches air quality at the University of Southampton. Read the call for evidence for more information about this inquiry, and to find out how to submit written evidence through the Committee's online evidence submission portal. |
