Sunday Telegraph – Labour backs away from 2030 ban on new petrol cars
The Sunday Telegraph accuses the government of planning to row back on its plan to restore the ban on sales of new petrol vehicles by 2030. Ministers plan to instead allow 20% of new car sales to be hybrids until 2035, the paper reports. A Department for Transport spokesperson called the report “untrue”, adding that “the original phase out date included the provision for some hybrid vehicle sales between 2030-35”.
