Lighthouses: Carbon Emissions
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the Answer of 9 January 2026 to Question 100955, if she will provide a breakdown of the capital expenditure programmes Trinity House is committed to for the decarbonisation of its lighthouse estate and vessel fleet by 2050; and how much of this is funded via the General Lighthouse Fund.
Answered by Keir Mather
All of Trinity House’s capital expenditure programmes are funded through the General Lighthouse Fund and are set out in their corporate plans, which cover rolling five-year periods and are updated and approved annually. The most recent Trinity House corporate plan (2026-31) sets out capital expenditure of £44.8 million over the five-year period, which includes spending on programmes which support decarbonisation.
