because of the major “eleventh-hour” U-turn on green policies announced by the Prime Minister, a minister has revealed.
Sunak appeared to have been forced into revealing his revised climate policies after chunks of it were leaked to theearlier this week and he announced the changes at a hastily-arranged Downing Street press conference on Wednesday. The Scottish Government also came under fire from opposition MSPs for repeatedly missing its own climate targets.Responding to a question on when a revised “action plan” to get Scotland to meet its climate targets from LibDems MSP Liam McArthur , McAllan said: “It had been my intention, and my officials had been working on developing a draft of Scotland’s climate change plan to lay in the Parliament this year.
The Scottish Government had set a less strict target of seeking to “phase out the need” for polluting vehicles, but not an outright ban, according to a Transport Scotland source. But it has sparked fury among manufacturers who had invested in projects based on the incentives and warnings issued by the UK Government on the closer date.
