Proceeding contribution from Barry Gardiner (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 16 December 2020. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Border Carbon Adjustment Tariffs and Decarbonisation.


Border Carbon Adjustment Tariffs and Decarbonisation

I am delighted to hear the depth with which the hon. Member is exploring this subject. What he has been saying is fascinating. Does he agree, though, that if it is about the right thing to do, the first thing we must do is to stop the subsidies and tax concessions that currently go to carbon industries domestically, and that it only makes sense as part of a whole package if we do that?
