Why Labour would delay promised ban on petrol and diesel cars by 5 years

The Labour party has said it would delay a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars

The policy, which was originally due to come into force in 2030, would now be pushed back to 2035.

The party said the delay was necessary to give businesses and consumers more time to adjust to the change.

The ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars is part of a wider plan to reduce air pollution and tackle climate change.

Air pollution is a major public health problem, and is linked to a range of health issues, including asthma, bronchitis, and lung cancer.

Climate change is also a major threat, and is caused by the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

The ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars is expected to help to reduce both air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.

However, the delay in the ban has been criticized by some environmental groups.

They argue that the delay will slow down the transition to a zero-emission transport system and will make it more difficult to meet climate change targets.

The government has said that it is committed to the ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars, and that the delay is necessary to ensure a smooth transition to a zero-emission transport system.
