The Government is delaying publishing its plans on tackling air pollution

The video discusses the delay in the UK government's air quality plan due to pre-election rules, leading to criticism from environmental campaigners. The government has applied for a High Court extension, but campaigners argue that immediate action is needed to address public health concerns. The air quality issue has been legally contested, with many UK regions exceeding legal pollution limits. Potential solutions include charges for older diesel cars, but these are controversial. The High Court's decision will determine the timeline for the plan's release.
