Answer
The Air Pollution in the UK 2025 report was published following GOV.UK best practice. The landing page for the publication contains a change log which identifies any amendments made since initial publication.
Verdict: RED (18/100)
The question asked for the department's view on publishing the report as a single, complete PDF. The reply addressed only part of this, saying the report followed GOV.UK best practice and that the landing page keeps a change log for amendments. It gave no view on the single-PDF proposal itself and answered in general terms, so the questioner would likely need to ask again for a specific response.
How we got there
| Question item | Coverage | Specificity | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| What is the department's assessment or view of the potential merits of providing a single accessible, dated and versioned PDF of the complete Air Pollution in the UK 2025 report and future annual reports? | Partially Addressed | Generic | The reply says the report followed GOV.UK best practice and that the landing page has a change log for amendments, which touches on the 'dated and versioned' aspect. It never addresses the proposed single, complete PDF or gives any view on its merits, so the core of the item is unanswered. |
