I don't think this will be a major concern financially for the Conservatives but symbolic is that there a political cost to delaying climate change policies.

Major donor won't back Tories after net zero U-turn
The former biggest donor to the Tories has revealed why he will not be donating any more money to the party after Rishi Sunak's net zero U-turn.
Mr Caudwell criticised the delayed petrol and diesel car ban, urging investment in environmental tech to boost GDP while tackling climate change.
John Caudwell, founder of Phones4u, donated £500,000 to the party before the 2019 election. The former will be far more electorally palatable than the latter.
He told Sky News: "I'll donate if I feel strongly enough about the issues that are in force in that day, the way the Tories are performing at the moment.
"It's not just a question of whether I donate, it's a question of whether I support by my vote. And that's a very depressing situation since I believed in Tory policies and principles for the whole of my life. Now I find myself diverging away from those principles because of this climatic issue which we can bury a head in the sand if we want to."

I just think there should be a better solution than inheritance tax, as it stands.

I think there's a world of difference in abolishing inheritance tax on estates say up to £900k and abolishing it entirely
