Conservative — Isle of Wight East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 11 February 2026

Debate

Economic Impact of Government Policies

Contribution

The Government are giving a 50% reduction to the emissions trading scheme levy on ferries crossing between Northern Ireland and Great Britain in an apparent effort not to negatively impact the economy there. Scottish islands are getting a 100% reduction, yet the Isle of Wight is getting no reduction. What economic assessment has been done to arrive at those figures, or are they simply plucked out of thin air?
