I know that they are not included in these regulations, and no doubt we will be getting them soon, but the Minister will not be surprised that we welcome what has been announced recently about moving on the shadow fleet. My colleague in the House of Commons, Helen Maguire MP, has been raising concerns that, when there has been analysis of the sanctioned fleet by the US, the UK and the EU, there are some areas where there is not overlap. There is only one shadow fleet, and the UK is of critical importance in global shipping. Can the Minister reassure us that we will have a fully integrated UK, US and EU effort on the shadow fleet? Russia has exploited gaps for years, and it cannot be allowed to do so any more.
