Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what discussions he has had with the Secretary State for Environment. Food and Rural Affairs on the potential merits of carbon border adjustments for supporting the UK's climate commitments.

As a global leader on decarbonisation, the UK recognises the importance of ensuring that policy interventions to cut domestic emissions do not lead to increased emissions elsewhere. A range of approaches could potentially help to address this, of which carbon border adjustments are one, and the Treasury continues to engage on the issue.
