PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(11 March 2025)

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether he has had discussions with (a) Ceramics UK, (b) the Secretary State for Business and Trade and (c) the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the exclusion of imported ceramics from the scope of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism.

Asked by:
Gareth Snell (Labour)

My Rt. Hon. Friend the Secretary of State has regular discussions with Ministerial Colleagues on a number of issues. Details of Ministers' and Permanent Secretaries' meetings with external individuals and organisations are published quarterly in arrears on GOV.UK.

Products from the ceramics sector will not be in scope of the UK CBAM upon implementation in 2027. The ceramic sector is, on average, less emissions intensive than those sectors within scope of the UK CBAM, and therefore relatively less exposed to carbon leakage risk.
