Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme (Amendment) (Extension to Maritime Activities) Order 2026

Lord Wilson of Sedgefield Excerpts

Thursday 12th March 2026 Lords Chamber

I am coming to the conclusion. Actually, there is no time restriction in this debate; I have known that for many years. Despite the Government not wanting to listen to this, I conclude by saying that in not voting, the expectation is that this measure should be taken away and analysed in detail. We need to see the implications for those affected by the SI. We need respect for the union, for the Northern Ireland Assembly and for all the Parliaments and people in the United Kingdom.

[Lord in Waiting/Government Whip (Lord Wilson of Sedgefield) (Lab)]

I note that, according to paragraph 4.42 of the Companion, the usual advisory speaking times still apply. It is 20 minutes for openers and winders and 15 minutes for everyone else. That includes the noble Lord and the noble Baroness, Lady Hoey.
