Shipping: UK Emissions Trading Scheme
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to engage with Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories on the impact of proposals to expand the UK Emissions Trading Scheme to international maritime voyages.
Answered by Keir Mather
Officials from my department and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero recently ran consultation engagement sessions with Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories following the publication of the consultation on expansion of the UK ETS to international maritime voyages.
Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories were also encouraged to submit a written response to the consultation. The consultation closed on the 20 January, and officials are now analysing responses.
We will continue to engage with Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories and use their input to inform policy developments.
