Proceeding contribution from Baroness Vere of Norbiton (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 19 July 2021. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Transport Decarbonisation.


Transport Decarbonisation

I thank the noble Lord, Lord Greenway, for his many questions. Maritime is absolutely critical to our decarbonisation. At the moment, maritime is, unfortunately, very polluting. This is why we already have a lot of work under way. We published the Clean Maritime Plan in July 2019. We have committed £20 million for the clean maritime development competition. We are consulting on steps to support the uptake of shore power and, if necessary, we will mandate it. Clearly, the consultation needs to take place before we go around putting lots of plugs in ports.
