#EllasLaw | Second reading of @GreenJennyJones's #CleanAirHRBill in @UKHouseofLords from 10am Friday 8 July HT @EllaRobertaFdn. It's about the #HumanRight to #CleanAir and meeting new @WHO guidelines asap. Follow this thread for live updates. Details here: cleanair.london/ellaslaw/
#EllasLaw | Ella Roberta Adoo Kissi-Debrah died tragically - aged nine - on 15 February 2013. #AirPollution was listed as one of the medical causes of death after a long campaign by her mother @EllaRobertaFdn won a second inquest cleanair.london/hot-topics/ell…
#EllasLaw | Coroner's 'Report to Prevent Future Deaths' said:

"@WHO guidelines should be seen as minimum requirements. Legally binding targets based on @WHO guidelines would reduce the number of deaths from air pollution in the UK"

@GreenJennyJones' #CleanAirHRBill does it!
#EllasLaw is being debated in @UKHouseofLords days before the @UN #GeneralAssembly is due to consider a resolution on the #HumanRight to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment HT @UN_PGA @SREnvironment @JohnHKnox @ClarenceHouse. More below and here cleanair.london/app/uploads/CA…
#EllasLaw | @DefraGovUK targets @WHO's 2006 #AirQualityGuideline for PM2.5 of 10 ug/m3 by 2040 despite their adviser saying a 'limit value' would've been achieved in 2020. Easy to beat #WHO10 by 2030 if Defra acts. We've shown how they could hit #WHO5 sooner! cc @RichardHRBenyon

#EllasLaw | @BullDeborah speaks strongly in favour of #CleanAirHRBill and cites a raft of health evidence HT @EllaRobertaFdn @GreenJennyJones
#EllasLaw | Lord Desai supports #CleanAirHRBill and calls for significant tightening at #CommitteeStage:

1. #HumanRight to #CleanAir
2. #PolluterPays
3. More independence of #CitizensCommissionForCleanAir
#EllasLaw: @danielmgmoylan supports thrust and objectives of #CleanAirHRBill. Concern about the #HumanRight to #CleanAir and democratic impact of duties imposed on Secretary of State << @GreenJennyJones has written to Delegated Powers Committee agreeing to propose such amendments

#EllasLaw | @WhitchurchGirl, @LabourLords Shadow Spokesperson on Environment, Food and Rural Affairs backs #CleanAirHRBill and pledges a new #CleanAirAct from @UKLabour HT @EllaRobertaFdn @GreenJennyJones
#EllasBill | @RichardHRBenyon, Government minister, appreciates intent behind Bill. Pledges to work with colleagues. But says would lead to duplication and claims new @WHO's #AirQualityGuidelines can't be achieved << Suggest he reads our letter to @DefraGovUK HT @GreenJennyJones
#EllasLaw | @RichardHRBenyon, Government minister, appreciates intent behind Bill. Pledges to work with colleagues. But says would lead to duplication and claims @WHO's new #AirQualityGuidelines can't be achieved << Suggest he reads our letter to @DefraGovUK HT @GreenJennyJones
#EllasLaw | @bryworthington asks @RichardHRBenyon for meeting to understand what emissions and concentrations are controllable. He agrees. Suggest they read cleanair.london/app/uploads/CA… and cleanair.london/app/uploads/CA… and see cleanair.london/ellaslaw HT @EllaRobertaFdn @GreenJennyJones
#EllasLaw: Powerful closing speech at #SecondReading of #CleanAirHRBill by @GreenJennyJones who taps her finger on the Bill when addressing @RichardHRBenyon. Thanked peers, incl for possible additions and reassured @danielmgmoylan on later duties. Bill was sent to #CommitteeStage
Thank you @gabbystern @WHO for highlighting international interest in the @UKHouseofLords debate on the need for #EllasLaw #CleanAirHRBill led by @GreenJennyJones on Friday 8 July. The Bill had cross-party support HT @salbrinton @LordRoyKennedy @WhitchurchGirl @LordChrisHolmes
Many thanks to @ZackPolanski for encouraging @MayorofLondon to support #EllasLaw #CleanAirHRBill HT @GreenJennyJones @EllaRobertaFdn. Your timely MQT interventions were tremendous!
Odd that @RichardHRBenyon says new @WHO #AirQualityGuideline can’t be achieved. @DefraGovUK wants one old (2006) AQG achieved by 2040 when their top adviser says #LimitValue would’ve been achieved in 2020! Ignoring #NetZero, EU #ZeroPollution2050, #WoodBurning, #NH3, tech etc?
Emphatic support for #EllasLaw #CleanAirHRBill from @SREnvironment who is championing a resolution on the #HumanRight to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment at @UN #GeneralAssembly this month! HT @UN_PGA @EllaRobertaFdn @GreenJennyJones @LordRoyKennedy @SalBrinton
