Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has moved to rule out the possibility of a referendum on the UK’s commitments to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050, as a former home secretary called for the government to “review and reflect” on its approach.
Speaking to ITV on Wednesday during a visit to Leicester, Mr. Sunak said: “I think actually there’s agreement on it. Most people are committed to getting to net zero but getting there in a proportionate and pragmatic way. That seems to me the common sense approach to doing this that has broad support.”
