Business and green groups alarmed by Tory plan to scrap key pollution rules

The Conservatives' recent pledge to abolish Britain's landmark climate change law has raised significant concerns among business and environmental groups. This law has been crucial in limiting pollution and promoting sustainable practices. By proposing to replace it with a focus on 'cheap and reliable' energy, critics argue that the move could undermine efforts to combat climate change and protect the environment. This decision matters because it could have long-lasting implications for the UK's environmental policies and its commitment to reducing carbon emissions.
