Energy Charter Treaty (ECT)

Dear Constituent,

Thank you for contacting me.

The following Written Answer sets out the Government’s position on the Energy Charter Treaty, which you may find to be of interest:

‘The UK has initiated the process to withdraw from the Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) and will provide notification to the ECT depository in Portugal as soon as possible. ‘

(Energy Charter Treaty, UIN 21263, Justin Tomlinson MP, Minister of State, Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, 18 April 2024)

Thank you again and I hope that this is helpful.

Yours sincerely,

Mel Stride MP

MP for Central Devon
