Robert Jenrick has promised to tear up the Climate Change Bill if he becomes Tory leader and eventually Prime Minister. this telegraph There is more.
He said that if he entered No. 10, he would repeal key elements of the Blair and Brown era legislation, including the Climate Change Act, the Equality Act and the Human Rights Act, under the “Great Reform Bill”.
His plans include scrapping the carbon budget and easing the burden on businesses under equality laws, which have been criticized for promoting positive discrimination and political correctness in the workplace.
He described carbon budgets as “Soviet-style five-year plans” and claimed they hindered the construction of critical national infrastructure projects.
He will also target the public sector equality obligations in the Equality Act and section 6 of the Human Rights Act, which gives the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) force in UK law.
“The next Conservative government must do better and create a truly conservative country. We must repeal and amend the Climate Change Act, the Equality Act and the Human Rights Act, and return decision-making powers to parliament minister. telegraph.
He accused the Prime Minister of “plotting a second disastrous Blairite revolution” and suggested he could repeal laws proposed by the current Labor government, including the Racial Equality Bill discussed in Labour's manifesto.
He also pledged to scrap new projects promised in Sir Keir Starmer's manifesto, including UK Energy, the National Climate Export Center and the Value for Money Office.
Mr Jenrick argued that the public sector equality duty “led to recruitment based on identity rather than merit” and that “the main beneficiaries were EDI consultants and those who peddled divisive and false narratives about Britain's past”.
Regarding the carbon budget, the Conservative leadership candidate said: “It is ridiculous to have a Soviet-style five-year plan at departmental level specifying where it plans to reduce carbon emissions. The country does not understand the economy well enough to be able to Do that. It prevents us from building the critical national infrastructure we need.
Mr Jenrick's plan was inspired by the Great Reform Act of 1832, which expanded democracy and stamped out corruption in the British political system.
