LONDON, 20, SEPTEMBER — As the Prime Minister announces a watering down of key Net Zero policies, from electric vehicles to energy efficiency, Christopher Hammond, UK100 Chief Executive, says. 

“The Prime Minister's short-term election gamble will leave businesses and local communities dealing with the long-term consequences of higher bills, a less competitive economy and dirty air. 

“If the Prime Minister is serious about being honest about Net Zero, he should be clear that delaying action means we won’t deliver our climate goals. Slowing down is more expensive in the long run.”
