9:16 am
london, speaking earlier. this has come a political issue in recent months. it has been played out in by—elections and will be a hot topic during the next general election as well and that is despite the fact that boris johnson well and that is despite the fact that borisjohnson was the first mayor of london to introduce ulez and it was a deal with the department for transport at the time, grant shapps was the head, to expand ulez initially to that outer london area. it did have department for transport approval but now we�*re seeing a slightly different message from the government. here is what the transport secretary said earlier this morning. he said the government was firmly against this expansion of to greater london. the government does not to greater london. the government does rrot support — to greater london. the government does not support the _ to greater london. the government does not support the roll-out i to greater london. the government does not support the roll-out of- does not support the roll—out of ulez to the whole of greater london. we have been very clear about that. in the latest letter from the department for transport, we made it clear that no central government money could be used to roll it out, it had to be funded by the mayor of london. i don't have the ability to
9:17 am
block it. it is his decision, the lady —— labour leader could block it by taking steps against the labour mayor of london. he does not want to do that. it is a labour decision and voters in london will be able to have their view when the mayoral actions take place. the conservative candidate has said that she would abolish this roll—out and i think that would be the right decision. the texts are flying in this morning. in london, you get the best deals in the nation comes stop whinging, says one. sadiq khan is right and history will show it. that is from dan in manchester. ulez has nothing to do with reducing the number of cars, it is about extracting money from people who cannot afford fancy new cars. the ritual still be able to drive their range rovers around bond street. ——
