Default PM Sunak Weakening Key Green Policies : Live 4:30PM 20/9/23

[Rishi Sunak is considering weakening
some of the government's key
green commitments in a major policy shift.
It could include delaying a ban on the sales
of new petrol and diesel cars and phasing
out gas boilers,

multiple sources have told the BBC.

The PM is preparing to set out the changes
in a speech in the coming days.


There is no suggestion that Mr Sunak
is considering abandoning the legal
commitment to reach net zero carbon
emissions by 2050.
But he is expected to declare that other countries
need to bear more of the burden of
dealing with climate change.

If Mr Sunak presses ahead with
the plan it would represent a significant shift
in the Conservative Party's approach
to net zero policy, as well as establishing
a clear dividing line with the Labour Party.]
