I’m proud that the ULEZ scrappage scheme, the biggest in the UK, has supported so many Londoners to switch to cleaner, greener forms of transport.

Create a safe kitemark for legitimate products to restore confidence and reverse bans; and a scrappage scheme. End the off-road-legal loophole

Targeting the extra scrappage grant at older boilers is also smart - boilers fail suddenly, typically in the middle of winter when there's no time to plan an upgrade to a heat pump.
