London Mayor Sadiq Khan and Martin Lewis clash over city’s clear-air zone expansion
Consumer finance expert Martin Lewis has told an event in London the planned timing of a clear-air zone expansion in the capital "is pretty tough".
Mr Lewis pointed out poorer drivers would be hit more by the widening of the Ultra Low Emission Zone. "For the 6% who have cars pre-2005 petrol or pre-2015 diesel, they will tend to be not the wealthiest because they haven't upgraded their car in that time."Mr Khan responded: "When is the right time? I was told in 2017 that it wasn't the right time because of concerns around Brexit."
