Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what discussions he has had with Cabinet colleagues on the introduction of a carbon tax for imported goods.

As we transition to net zero, the UK recognises the carbon leakage risk. A range of approaches could potentially help to address this risk, of which carbon border adjustments are one. Treasury ministers and officials are in regular contact with colleagues across the government on all matters related to the Net Zero transition.
