2030 ban on new petrol car sales is immovable, insists Gove
Will the 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel car sales go ahead?
The ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars has been a hotly debated topic in recent years, but what does it actually involve?
What’s included in the ban?
In 2020, the government introduced a policy to ban the sale of all new petrol and diesel cars in the UK by 2030 in an effort to tackle climate change.
The plan is set to take effect in two phases:
Phase 1: Banning the sale of all new petrol and diesel cars by 2030.
Phase 2: All new cars and vans will be fully zero emission at the tailpipe by 2035.
Between 2030 and 2035, the government say that new cars and vans can be sold if they are able to travel a significant distance with zero emissions (ie a plug-in hybrid or full hybrid vehicle).
The hope is that the ban will improve the air quality in busy towns and cities and support economic growth across the country.
In 2020, the government pledged £1.3 billion to accelerate the rollout of EV chargepoints in homes, streets and motorways across the UK. This is aimed at encouraging people to switch to hybrid or fully electric cars ahead of the ban.
Has the PM gone back on his word?
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak declined to recommit to the ban in a recent interview, warning against heaping extra costs on families during the cost of living crisis.
Housing Secretary Michael Gove, when asked on Times Radio if the ban was “immovable” replied “yes”, seeming to disagree with PM’s careful avoidance of the question.
Gove added “I’m sure there are some people who would like to change that policy, I understand. But the policy remains,” when further questioned about the plan.
Downing Street have insisted that the Prime Minister still supports the policy, despite his non-answer, and Tory minister Andrew Mitchell’s comment that he couldn’t “prophesise” the future of the policy.

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the
structure of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content
so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one
or two pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if
you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter
updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time
and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this.
Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog
and I look forward to your new updates.

Hi there would you mind sharing which blog platform
you’re using? I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a difficult time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!
You made some nice points there. I did a search on the subject matter and found most people will agree with your site.
