Plans for infrastructure and climate postponed until after budget

Rishi Sunak to delay unveiling strategy for better transport links and net-zero emissions

The national infrastructure strategy to invest 100bn in boosting the economy and tackling the climate crisis is expected to be delayed until after the budget.

The plan to improve transport connectivity and work towards achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 had been set to be published "alongside" the budget, which is due on Wednesday.
