Baroness Whitaker (Lab)
My Lords, exactly the same points apply about the protection of citizens.
Lord Foulkes of Cumnock (Lab Co-op)
Can I also ask in relation to this one if this is required only in the event of no deal?
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department for Transport (Baroness Sugg) (Con)
My Lords, I confirm that this is another SI that is required only in a no-deal scenario. It makes changes to legislation on controlling sulphur dioxide emissions from ships, substances used to prevent the fouling of ships’ hulls, and transport and works legislation in relation to environmental impact assessment. It corrects deficiencies that would mean that environmental legislation did not work as intended. It is designed to ensure that we continue to maintain our high environmental standards.
