Put Purdah Aside for Air Quality

Once again the High Court has come to the rescue and put the government in its place. I despair of the hubristic autocratical approach that appears to be the modus operandi of Whitehall. HMG has had plenty of time to produce and publish an Air Quality Plan. Its dithering has been shameful.

To argue that publication of the plan at this time would add "controversy" to the general election process is facile. The election has sufficient controversy associated with it already. Publishing the plan (or at least a draft) is merely doing the right thing.

All power to Client Earth.
