Sam Hall, the director of the CEN, which has about 150 Conservative MPs and peers as supporters, said: “Environmental policies are an electoral asset when they are fair, affordable, and deliver for people and their communities.
“I’d warn Conservatives against listening to calls to ditch environmental commitments following the Uxbridge result. Insulating people’s homes, building more renewables, and attracting investment into new clean industries are popular, bill-cutting and job-creating.”
