Sunak said the debate around getting to net zero had "thrown up a range of worrying proposals" which he said would "never happen" under his government. A general election is due by January 2025 at the very latest, but is expected next year.
“We will never impose these unnecessary and heavy-handed measures on you, the British people, but we will still meet our international commitments and hit net zero by 2050,” Sunak vowed in an impromptu speech.
Laying waste to a number of commitments, Sunak said: "The proposal to create new taxes to discourage flying – I’ve scrapped that too."
