The levy would apply to new garments for sale on the UK market, with the proceeds ringfenced for improving local recycling facilities.
Deputy leader Daisy Cooper said the party will be preparing to “take a sledgehammer to the blue wall” as it kicks off conference season with a raft of new potential policies.
“We do have a problem in this country with fast fashion and this is just one way in which we might be able tackle it.” “Our core objective for this weekend is to start the firing gun on our general election campaign, to make sure that our candidates are revved up and that they’re ready to take a sledgehammer to the blue wall,” Ms Cooper said.
The party had previously pledged to build 380,000 new homes a year if it was elected, but Ms Cooper said she hopes it will “move away” from that target at conference. The expansion of the ultra-low emission zone has also become a key issue in some home counties surrounding London. Both the Lib Dems and the Conservatives have opposed the expansion, which Ms Cooper says came at the “wrong time” but Mr Khan has hailed as a “landmark” move that will help improve air quality.
