Reacting to news that Kemi Badenoch’s Conservatives would scrap the 2030 cut-off date for the sale of petrol and diesel vehicles, Green MP Siân Berry said:
“This proposal from the Conservatives would set the car industry backwards, creating turmoil right when it needs continued certainty from Government that we want a better future than communities plagued by air pollution, and one where lower carbon industries matter.
“The Green Party is fully committed to a fair transition to a cleaner, greener economy, and Labour must not be pushed into backsliding by this move, driven as it is by desperate fossil fuel lobbying.”
