Taking to Twitter, he said: \u201cThis is nonsense. Let me be crystal clear – a pay per mile scheme is not on the table and not on my agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n
London Tories have claimed Mr Khan issues the exact same denials about introducing a ULEZ expansion, only for him to U-turn and do exactly that.<\/p>\n
London Assembly Member Peter Fortune said that in May 2021 he asked the Mayor directly: \u201c”Do you have any plans to extend the Ultra-Low Emission Zone to the Outer London boundary, and if so, when would this be likely to happen?\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Khan replied in July that year: “I have no plans to extend the ULEZ to outer London\u201d.<\/p>\n
For good measure, the Mayor added such a policy would not be effective in tackling air quality.<\/p>\n

I believe that this strikes the right balance to deliver the biggest air quality improvements as quickly as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n This afternoon, Tory Mayoral candidate Susan Hall told the Express that Sadiq Khan is once again repeating his denials despite plans to do the opposite.<\/p>\n Ms Hall said: \u201cSadiq Khan pretended ULEZ expansion was not on the agenda, until it was. Now he is doing the same for his plans to charge motorists for every mile they drive, which TfL has openly admitted it is working on.<\/p>\n \u201cAs Mayor, I will stop all development on Sadiq Khan’s pay per mile scheme.\u201d<\/p>\n Last night, Transport Secretary Mark Harper wrote to Sadiq Khan warning that the Government will back an amendment in the forthcoming Levelling Up Bill that would ensure councillors can block future Labour plans to use air pollution as an \u201cattempt to justify\u201d charges on drivers.<\/p>\n The London ULEZ will expand to cover the whole of Greater London on Tuesday, after a number of Tory councils failed in their efforts to get the courts to block the move.<\/p>\n Sadiq Khan has declared Tuesday a \u201clandmark day\u201d.<\/p>\n
