§ 01Where the parties sit on aviation.3 divisions · this parliament

Each row is one party. The bar shows how its MPs voted relative to a neutral midpoint — to the right = on-side with the majority position, to the left = opposed. The percentage figure is the share of that party’s MPs who took the same side: higher = more whip-disciplined, closer to 50% = a freer vote.

15 Oct 2025Sustainable Aviation Fuel Remaining Stages: Amendment 9
Aye: Support requiring the government to regularly review and report on how sustainable aviation fuel mandates affect passenger costs and the affordability of flying · No: Oppose the mandatory cost-impact review requirement, trusting the existing framework to balance green aviation targets without additional reporting obligations on passenger affordability
160321No
15 Oct 2025Sustainable Aviation Fuel Bill Remaining Stages: New Clause 5
Aye: Support requiring the government to publish a review of SAF feedstock supply, including assessing the impact of bioethanol plant closures, to ensure the UK can meet its sustainable aviation fuel targets · No: Oppose the additional review requirement, arguing it duplicates existing measures in the SAF mandate and that the global bioethanol market means UK plant closures would not significantly affect SAF production
80315No
15 Oct 2025Sustainable Aviation Fuel Bill Remaining Stages: Amendment 8
Aye: Support requiring a formal review of how sustainable aviation fuel costs are passed on to passengers, ensuring affordability and cost of living impacts are considered · No: Oppose the amendment, arguing existing SAF mandate provisions already address these concerns and a separate cost review is unnecessary or duplicative

§ 03MPs most aligned, by party.Top-3 most-on-whip per major party

By party, the MPs whose voting record on aviation is most closely tracking the party majority. A fuller “most active by speech volume + written questions” ranking is pending — needs per-issue speech aggregation.

§ 04Where aviation money lands.Council-service mapping pending
Pending — issue-to-service mapping

Mapping each Westminster issue to the equivalent council service bucket (so “Aviation” → the matching service line on council finance, with the ranked-spend table this section wants) is its own taxonomy job. Council service spend lives on the council pages today; cross-cut by issue here in a follow-on pass.
