Many people would then purchase electric cars. We are talking about active travel, including walking and cycling. That...

Kieran O'Donnell: The point that I am trying to make is that rather than being abstract, we now know that we must get to a certain stage. The public is now engaged. Joe Bloggs like me is now looking at the possibility of our next car being electric. How can we ensure people do it?

If there are climate change issues, we have to find a way to adopt policies that encourage people to go to...
