Asked by: Barry Gardiner (Labour - Brent West)
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the implications for the Government's policies of the EU's proposed carbon border tax.
Answered by Jesse Norman - Shadow Leader of the House of Commons
The European Commission has yet to make a concrete proposal for a carbon border adjustment mechanism, but the Government is following the EU’s debate on possible designs with interest.
The overall destination of Net Zero by 2050 is shared by the UK, and the Government will continue to work with the EU to secure ambitious climate objectives.
