| 10 Dec 2025 | Kashmir: Self-determination “I am very grateful to the Minister for taking all these interventions. Does he agree that the cross-border terrorism—most of the terrorist camps are based in Azad Kashmir—is specifically designed to engender a crackdown on human rights in Jammu and Kashmir and to foment tension? Therefore, one of the things that his Go…” defenceculture-communityother | 98 |
| 10 Dec 2025 | Kashmir: Self-determination “My hon. Friend the Member for Bradford East (Imran Hussain) spoke with great passion, but it is a passion that I fear clouded his recollection of some of the history. Under the Indian Independence Act 1947, the rulers of each of the princely states had the responsibility to choose between the two emergent nations, and …” defenceculture-communityother | 564 |
| 3 Dec 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1327) “Mr Counsell, you talked about four elements to the balanced pathway. I got SAF and I got technology; what were the other two?” | 23 |
| 3 Dec 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1327) “Yes, that is right. The CCC’s findings in its advice on the seventh carbon budget said that demand management was the single most important measure in the aviation sector’s balanced pathway towards net zero. Why did you not mention that?” | 40 |
| 3 Dec 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1327) “A quick challenge: you did not say, Mr Huhne, how much the transport and storage costs would add to the price of your product. That relates to what Ms Whitehouse was saying about the costs of transport and injection. Isn’t one of the problems at the moment that the costs can increase by up to 25%, and as a result there…” | 73 |
| 3 Dec 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1327) “Ms Whitehouse, last year 0.03% of total global emissions were sequestered by CCUS. Are you telling us that you believe that in a timescale that is sufficient to achieve our targets, CCUS in this country is going to suddenly transform itself? We have been saying this for 30 years. We now have three years globally, at th…” | 104 |
| 3 Dec 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1327) “Yes, but we are talking about greenhouse gas removals. Who is going to pay for that? Is it you or is it the general taxpayer?” | 25 |
| 3 Dec 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1327) “We are talking about coping with the shortfall in your emissions. Alan Whitehead’s review said that you should be paying for the greenhouse gas removals that make up that shortfall. Are you happy as an industry to do that?” | 39 |
| 3 Dec 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1327) “No, you said that all the subsidy was being removed, so in terms of—” | 14 |
| 3 Dec 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1327) “Thank you. Dr Hughes, similarly, shipping is partly covered by the UK ETS, but the IMO has its own scheme under development—you alluded earlier to the premature end that came to that in October. How are those different regimes going to shape the fuel choices, competitiveness between ports and the alignment of design ch…” | 65 |
| 3 Dec 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1327) “You are a tremendous spokesperson for biomethane. Of course, we have to have the repositories ready and waiting to put it in. We have one part of this value chain that we know we have, but we need to see the whole thing, and we need to see when it is coming together and how it is going to be delivered. That is what I a…” | 69 |
| 3 Dec 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1327) “The Whitehead recommendation was that the aviation sector should be required to pay for all the greenhouse gas removals. Are you absolutely happy with that?” | 25 |
| 3 Dec 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1327) “Do you want me to leave it there, Chair? I know we are pressed for time.” | 16 |
| 3 Dec 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1327) “Give us a timeline, then, because this is verbiage that we have heard for years. Give me a timeline for when you think there will be active sequestering to a certain extent—this many tonnes sequestered—by a certain date. We can then have some confidence and hold people to account. Without that it is meaningless, isn’t …” | 56 |
| 3 Dec 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1327) “Why do you think they imposed that restriction on imported SAF?” | 11 |
| 3 Dec 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1327) “Perhaps you could write to the Committee subsequently, after appropriate consultations.” | 11 |
| 3 Dec 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1327) “The aviation sector received 59% of its emissions under the emissions trading scheme for free, while across all sectors that figure is 38%. That does not exactly account for the polluter pays principle under which—” | 35 |
| 3 Dec 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1327) “So the impact from the increase in SAF will feed directly into demand management?” | 14 |
| 3 Dec 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1327) “As you said earlier, for their own production in China and so on.” | 13 |
| 3 Dec 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1327) “As the price goes up, people will choose to fly less.” | 11 |
