The panel - including also Katie Nield (ClientEartth), Edward Lockhart (Broadway), and Roz Bulleid (MakeUK) - discussed the various challenges facing air quality law in England presently, and made various suggestions for and in the forthcoming 鈥楶art 2鈥� of the Bill.

In her remarks, Professor Scotford drew on her British Academy funded empirical research of the experience of local authorities working within the current legislative framework for air quality governance, highlighting its weaknesses for promoting good air quality outcomes in three key respects.听

First, current听air quality targets can lead to 鈥減erverse鈥� policy incentives, with government focusing on meeting numerical targets over necessarily delivering best outcomes for protecting public health.

Second, discrepancies between local and national monitoring results can cause tension over which areas should be the focus for targeted efforts to improve air quality.

Third, Professor Scotford argued that there are 鈥渟erious disconnects鈥� between policy makers with control over air quality sources and measures and the bodies that are currently responsible for meeting air quality targets. In her closing remarks, Professor Scotford called for all public bodies with some control over air pollution sources to have legal responsibility for taking coordinated action to meet air quality targets.
