The accompanying ‘Carbon Budget Delivery Plan’ sets out the detail of the package of proposals and policies that will enable legal targets on carbon budgets and net zero to be met.

In transport, the zero-emission vehicle mandate covering new cars and vans sold in Great Britain entered into force in January 2024 and is the world’s most ambitious regulation of its kind.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Cambridgeshire answering member printed Anthony Browne question first answered 30/01/2024 15:19:29 answering member 4801 label Biography information for Anthony Browne
