Speaking in the House of Lords on 28 January 2026
Debate
Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme (Amendment) Order 2026Contribution
So, I ask the Minister: what is his assessment of how many jobs will be lost because of higher carbon taxes? How many more domestic industries will be replaced by foreign imports, which we are already seeing in gas, steel, chemicals and refineries? Does the Minister accept that reducing free allowances through this legislation will increase energy bills? Will he publish an assessment of what increase in cost will be added to people’s household bills?
