Shadow environment secretary Steve Reed said without the ban the UK would miss its target to hit net zero - this is the point at which a country is no longer adding to the overall amount of harmful greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Mr Reed said the prime minster had “sold out the biggest economic opportunity of the 21st Century” for Britain “to lead the world in transition to well-paid secured new jobs of the green economy”.
“We risk condemning people to many more years of living in cold and draughty homes that are expensive to heat, in cities clogged with dirty air from fossil fuels, missing out on the economic regeneration this ambition brings,” Mr Norbury said.
Jaguar Land Rover, which announced hundreds of new jobs in the West Midlands a few days ago, welcomed the change, calling it “pragmatic” and adding that it brings the UK in line with other nations.
Elsewhere, Mr Sunak also suggested he would be “scrapping” a range of proposals which had been “thrown up” by the debate, including hiking up air fares to discourage foreign holidays and taxes on meat consumption.
Speaking to Radio 4’s Today programme on Thursday, Mr Stark added that the committee had already advised the government in June that it “didn’t look like we were on track” to meet 2030 emissions targets, before these changes were announced.
