Labour's candidate in the Uxbridge by-election has spoken out against the expansion of London Mayor Sadiq Khan's ultra-low emissions zone
"Of course we want clean air, of course we all do... But to do it now, when mortgages are going up £500, £600, £700 a month because the Tories have crashed the economy, when fuel bills and food bills come up exponentially..."Last month, he defended the policy while acknowledging that it was"tough" for families facing higher food and mortgage bills.
"I've spoken out about this issue. I have had hundreds of conversations on the doorstep about this issue and that's the message I give," he said.A Labour campaign spokesperson later confirmed that Mr Beales believed the rollout of the ULEZ expansion into Uxbridge and South Ruislip should be delayed until a properly funded scrappage scheme is in place and that he had called on the government and City Hall to go further in providing more support.
