Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to introduce a temporary or time-limited exemption from the UK Emissions Trading Scheme for English island lifeline ferry services.

There are no plans for temporary or time-limited exemptions from the UK ETS for English island ferry services.

Any potential impacts of the scheme on ferry services to English islands will be considered in a review of the effectiveness of the maritime regime in 2028.
