Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when he plans to consult on an extension to the existing North Sea Emission Control Area to cover the Irish Sea.
This question was answered on 8th February 2023
As set out in the Clean Maritime Plan published in 2021, we have committed to consulting on options for extending the North Sea Emissions Control Area beyond its current geographical limits or establishing new, geographically distinct, Emissions Control Areas around the UK coast. We plan to launch a call for evidence later this year.
