Thank you for your positive response to Question 1004/2008. Will you therefore oppose any Government attempt to apply for a five-year extension to the 2010 deadline to achieve European Union air quality standards? Will you support legal action against the U.K. Government, if there is clear evidence that London does not meet the conditions for an extension, as outlined in the Annex referred to in clause 3 of Article 22 of the Air Quality Directive?

Will you make available the material sent to the Government by the Greater London Authority in support of the case for a Low Emission Zone, specifically regarding the likelihood of London's meeting the European Union's air quality limit values?

• Question by: Darren Johnson
• Meeting date: 16 July 2008

The previous Mayor stated in a press release in February this year, that the Low Emission Zone, along with other measures, would mean that by 2012 the number of Londoners that live in areas that register levels of air pollution that are dangerous to health will be reduced from 1.3 million to 400,000 for oxides of nitrogen, and from 500,000 to just 70,000 for the most dangerous pollutant, fine particles. Will you please publish the analysis and/or report on which this was based?
