Nigel Lawson, Britain’s Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1983 to 1989, has warned Boris Johnson that he is being misadvised on the real costs of Net Zero.
In a letter to the Prime Minister, Lord Lawson warns that “the overall costs are likely to be twice and probably three times the Government’s £1.4 trillion estimate.”
Lawson also recommends that the Prime Minister should seek a broader spectrum of economic advice in order to obtain a more balanced and more realistic cost assessment of his Net Zero agenda:
“It is important, as your colleague Steve Baker has noted, that you find more balanced sources of expertise, researchers and economists who can shake the tree, and guide you towards practical and realistic policies able of taking the public with you.”
