Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they intend to take to ensure that the principles of the Windsor Framework are not compromised as a result of the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism.

We intend to apply UK CBAM across the UK including in NI. The EU's CBAM could only apply in Northern Ireland with the agreement of the UK and in line with the democratic safeguards of the Windsor Framework. The UK will continue to work with international partners, including the EU, to ensure our approach is implemented in a way that works for businesses.
