Ella Adoo-Kissi-Debrah died following an asthma attack in 2013 .

She was the first person in the UK to have air pollution recognised as a factor in her death.

Her mother Rosamund said settling the action for an undisclosed sum was not a win "because your child is already dead", but it did provide "an acknowledgement" of what happened to her.

The government said it was committed to delivering an "ambitious clean air strategy".

Air Quality Minister Emma Hardy says it was a "privilege" to meet Ms Adoo-Kissi-Debrah and express her condolences.

Charity Asthma + Lung UK welcomed the government's apology and called for legally binding air quality targets.

Mayor of London says Sadiq Khan is doing "everything in his power to clean up Londonâs air".
