Motion text

That this House is concerned that increases in road traffic will cause more atmospheric pollution and emission of more greenhouse gases, as well as being damaging to communities and the countryside; notes the similar concerns expressed in the recent reports by the Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution and the Houses's own Transport Committee; notes, too, that the Government in its recent Air Quality Strategy accepts that 'changes in planning and transport policies which would reduce the need to travel and reliance on the car', could be needed in order to ensure that air quality targets can be met; also notes that the CBI has estimated that traffic congestion is costing British industry ú19 billion per year; and welcomes the introduction of the Road Traffic Reduction Bill by a cross-party group of honourable Members led by the honourable Member for Bath, the honourable Member for Stoke on Trent North, the honourable Member for Eltham and the honourable Member for Ceredigion and Pembroke North, which requires local authorities to draw up local road traffic reduction plans in order to reduce traffic in their areas in ways that they consider appropriate to their circumstances, and which requires the Secretary of State to draw up and implement a national road traffic reduction plan requiring a reduction of traffic miles by five per cent. on 1990 levels by 2005 and a reduction of 10 per cent. by 2010.
