In the meantime, I hope that noble Lords will agree that these regulations reflect the UK’s continued commitment to uphold international standards for not only our own ships but all ships using UK ports, while tailoring the legislative framework to the UK’s post-EU exit context. I hope that noble Lords will therefore agree with me that the objective of these regulations—to update merchant shipping legislation and to ensure that it is operable and effective—is highly desirable. I commend the instrument to the Committee.
