UK committed to its net zero promises - government spokesperson

Britain's government said on Tuesday it remained "committed to its net zero commitments", responding to a report by the BBC saying it was considering pushing back a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars to 2035 from 2030. "The government remains completely committed to its Net Zero commitments," a government spokesperson said in a statement to Reuters.

"Our approach will always be pragmatic and ensure costs are not passed onto hard-working families." The government spokesperson added they would not comment on speculation.
