Sir Keir says Labour will look at schemes that do not disproportionately impact people's finances.
Sir Keir Starmer has said he is searching for a better solution to air pollution in the South East, as he refused to back expansion of London's Ultra Low Emission Zone .It now covers all London up to Kent and Surrey, with drivers who do not pay the £12.50 daily fee now receiving fines.Sir Keir said: "I've always said that we do need to take measures to ensure that we've got clean air. I've got two children, one aged 15 and one aged 12.
The Labour leader said the expansion of Ulez was a decision made by London mayor Sadiq Khan, who had been under a legal obligation to take measures to mitigate against air pollution. He added: "The mayor has called on the government to extend the scrappage outside of London. The government hasn't done that."
He said: "What I think needs to happen and will happen if we're privileged enough to come into power is that we'll have a mayor working with the government, strategically.
