The Tories's ‘rowing back’ on pollution commitments ‘dangerous,’ Labour charges
The view of London's Canary Wharf through the smog

THE Tory government’s attempt to “row back” on its commitment to clean up road transport is “dangerous” and will prevent Britain from leading the way in producing electric vehicles, Labour said yesterday.

Transport Minister Chris Grayling will today announce plans intended to make it easier to recharge electric vehicles, which could lead to the installation of hundreds of thousands more charge points.

The government’s Road to Zero strategy will provide more money to fund recharging infrastructure and consider whether new homes and offices should be required to instal charge points as standard.
