What changed

  • The official Commons division record dates Division 84 to 14 October 2026 and records 319 Ayes and 115 Noes. Hansard records the approval motion and 'Question accordingly agreed to.'
  • The motion identifies SI 2026/809, dated 13 July 2026 and laid before the House on 14 July. The 14 October vote is a parliamentary event, not the instrument's making date.
  • This vote record alone does not establish the instrument's making, commencement or current legal effect. The official instrument and any applicable commencement provisions need separate verification.
  • UK CBAM is separate from EU CBAM. This historical UK parliamentary approval does not change EU CBAM obligations, goods scope, deadlines or CBAM Pulse calculator assumptions.

Who may be affected

UK importers and advisers following UK CBAM, including specified goods in the aluminium, cement, fertiliser, hydrogen, and iron-and-steel sectors identified by HMRC's UK CBAM collection. The vote does not determine any individual importer's liability or whether particular goods are covered.
