Pedestrian Crossings
Asked by: Wendy Chamberlain (Liberal Democrat - North East Fife) Monday 18th May 2026 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the Better Connected Strategy published on 2 April 2026, whether she has had discussions with (a) Transport Scotland and (b) the Welsh Government on zebra crossings at the junction between roads. Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) The national transport strategy, Better Connected, was published on 2 April, in which the Department committed to update the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions, the legislation for traffic signs and road markings. This will include changes including new, simpler zebra crossings that will make walking and wheeling easier, safer and more accessible.
Currently, to ensure consistency of design, zebra crossings are prescribed in the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016 (TSRGD). This sets out they must consist of black and white stripes, yellow globes, a give-way line and white zig-zag markings.
TSRGD applies to England, Scotland and Wales. Equivalent legislation in Northern Ireland (The Traffic Signs Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1997, as amended) applies the same requirements for zebra crossings there.
Implementation of zebra crossings is the responsibility of local traffic authorities. It is for them to ensure designs comply with regulatory requirements. The Department provides detailed good practice advice in Chapter 6 of the Traffic Signs Manual, available at: www.gov.uk/government/publications/traffic-signs-manual.
Traffic signing is a devolved matter with the Scottish and Welsh Government being able to bring forward amendments to TSRGD in respect of their road networks. There is a statutory requirement for the Scottish and Welsh governments to consult the Secretary of State when doing so.
The Department engages regularly with its counterparts in Scotland and Wales on traffic management matters.

UK Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism
Asked by: Wendy Chamberlain (Liberal Democrat - North East Fife) Friday 22nd May 2026 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps her Department is taking to align the UK Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism with (a) the EU and (b) other international partners to (i) minimise trade frictions and (ii) administrative burdens for UK businesses. Answered by Dan Tomlinson - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury) The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) will be introduced from 1 January 2027. CBAM is a new tax which will ensure that highly traded, carbon intensive goods which are imported into the UK face a comparable carbon price to what is paid by manufacturers producing the same goods in the UK.
CBAM will apply to goods from the following industrial sectors: aluminium, cement, fertiliser, hydrogen, iron and steel sectors. The UK CBAM will only apply if the total value of CBAM imports in a rolling 12-month period meets or exceeds £50,000.
Primary legislation for CBAM was introduced in the Finance Act 2026. Draft secondary legislation has been released in two stages and will be laid later in the year.
CBAM is designed to ensure that UK decarbonisation policy encourages a true reduction in global emissions by mitigating carbon leakage. Further details can be found in the policy summary: Carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM): Policy Summary - GOV.UK
Both the UK and EU CBAMs introduce a carbon price on imported goods with an aim to mitigate the risk of carbon leakage. The government recognises that alignment with existing regimes can reduce administrative burdens and where possible, have sought to align with and build upon existing methodologies for the purpose of monitoring, reporting and verifying emissions. However, the UK CBAM has been designed in response to the specific carbon leakage risks facing UK producers.
