Mr Haq continued, saying: “There is also another issue here that we can’t ignore. We are in the midst of a climate crisis as well as a cost of living crisis, but one does not mitigate the other.

“It is interesting that, while the country swelters and a national emergency is declared due to the effects of climate change, the subject has barely entered the leadership contest.”

He added that the UK Government has encouraged businesses to adopt greener and cleaner vehicles.
