PM Johnson's Green Plan Bans Petrol, Diesel Cars in UK After 2030

"New cars and vans powered wholly by petrol and diesel will not be sold in the UK from 2030, Boris Johnson has said.

But some hybrids would still be allowed, he confirmed.

It is part of what the prime minister calls a "green industrial revolution" to tackle climate change and create jobs in industries such as nuclear.

Critics of the plan say the £4bn allocated is far too small for the scale of the challenge."

Roger Harrabin reports for BBC News November 18, 2020.
