Britain is sticking to its plan to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030 but some measures to reduce the carbon footprint of residential homes will be relaxed, senior government minister Michael Gove said on Tuesday.
after the governing Conservatives won a vote for a parliamentary seat last week by attacking London's flagship anti-pollution policy.
Asked on Times Radio if banning the sale of new petrol and diesel cars was an immovable target in Britain, Gove said: "Yes." "We're living through a real cost of living challenge and what we don't want to do is to force individuals to pay excessive sums at this stage, we need to take a proportionate approach," he said.
