Scrap the proposed ban on new petrol and diesel cars.

Government intend to stop the sale of all new petrol/diesel cars by 2040 or even 2035 with the UK being carbon neutral by 2050. This target date is totally unrealistic given the lack of funding for infrastructural needs.

The 2040 ban will also effect the economy and could have a detrimental effect on jobs and industry.

Every part of the UK depends on diesel powered vehicles. I believe the long term result from this ban will be UK economic stagnation and collapse.
