Lord Mountevans (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 22 October 2025

Debate

International Maritime Organization: Net-Zero Framework

Contribution

My Lords, I thank the Minister for his response. Given the urgency for climate action and the industry’s need for certainty, does he agree that it is vital to maintain momentum, despite the IMO delay? Will the Government commit to continuing their input during the intersessional period, helping shape the technical framework, building consensus and ensuring that the competitiveness of the UK’s shipping industry is supported in the final agreement?
