Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme (Amendment) (Extension to Maritime Activities) Order 2026Contribution
The Government seek implementation by 1 July this year—just three and a half months away. I urge the Minister to delay inclusion of maritime in the UK ETS until full evidence and guidance is published, to ring-fence maritime ETS revenues for decarbonisation, to exempt the lifeline ferries to island communities about which we have heard much, and to pause the UK Government regulation for international emissions until IMO negotiations are completed. Can we also have, as the noble Baroness, Lady Hoey, said, an SI example, as requested?
