Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, whether the UK will remain in the EU Emissions Trading Scheme after the UK leaves the EU.

We are considering the UK’s future participation in the EU ETS as part of delivering a wider negotiated settlement that is in the best interests of the UK. There are a wide range of options and we are assessing these carefully.

The government's clean growth strategy published in October set out our clear commitment to continue growing our national income while cutting greenhouse gas emissions.

The UK remains committed to domestic and international efforts to tackle climate change and the UK's commitment to the Paris Climate Change Agreement is as strong as ever.
