Debate between Baroness McIntosh of Pickering and Lord Stockwood

Monday 8th December 2025 Lords Chamber

[Lord Stockwood (Lab)]

I thank my noble friend for the reminder. I agree that the net-zero transition creates the most attractive and best use of our capabilities in the UK. I am happy to support his comment.

[Baroness McIntosh of Pickering (Con)]

My Lords, given the distances in rural areas to charging points for those with electric cars, is it not a bit of an own goal to impose an upper mileage charge at this stage?

[Lord Stockwood (Lab)]

I thank the noble Baroness for her question. I do not believe that that is the case. We have a commitment to our climate goals, while balancing fairness in our tax take.
