Lord Callanan (Con)
I am sure the Chancellor will want to update Parliament in due course on any proposed levies.
Lord Grantchester (Lab)
Clearly the Government have not thought through the present crisis. So often it is the poorest throughout the world who bear the brunt of climate change. How will the Government apportion costs for the UK ETS to cover all forms of transport?
Lord Callanan (Con)
The effect on poor people, including in the UK, will be one of the factors that we will need to consider when expanding the ETS. These are important fiscal measures. We will need to look at them properly and consider all the implications, and we will set out our thinking in due course.
