| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “Therefore, it is not able to amend either.” | 8 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “Dr Lane, since the ANPS was produced in 2018, we have had major pieces of legislation, such as the Environment Act for one. We have established the Office for Environmental Protection. The whole environmental milieu has changed. That is not reflected in the ANPS, is it? Are you able to take that into account and, as it…” | 67 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “When will you be publishing that data?” | 7 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “What is its primary one? If the second measure is SAF, what is the first one?” | 16 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “We heard evidence from Andrew Meaney, the head of transport at Oxera. He said that the transport analysis guidance from the DFT that deals with aviation is, in his words, “pretty thin”. For the Government to undertake analysis and test the benefits and costs of public sector investment, this guidance, he said, would ha…” | 71 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “Dr Lane, welcome. I am glad that either you or we have at last managed to master the technology and that you have been able to join us remotely. How much of a role does the transport analysis guidance play in guiding the approval of airport expansion?” | 47 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “You are talking about a way. You are talking about a process. I want clarity about what the things are where you would then say, “This is going to appeal because the Secretary of State or Planning Inspectorate has failed to account for this, and that was an essential criteria that should have been used as part of reach…” | 61 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “Sorry. I was having a little trouble hearing because our sound system is somewhat tinny here. I understood from what you were saying that you have to have decided in the first place that the need was there, and then you had to check whether the expansion would meet that need. Is that right?” | 54 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “What does it mean when the ANPS refers to the balance of economic gain versus the climate budget? That is apples and pears, is it not? On the one hand, it is the jobs and the economic growth, presumably. On the other hand, it is the carbon emissions.” | 48 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “My question to you is, “What are the criteria that you use for that test?” When it says, “making best use”, according to whom, what values and what criteria? That is what I am trying to get a grip of. Every time I think, “I have something here”, it squidges out.” | 51 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “Ms Donkin, I have been struggling to get to grips with the whole way in which the planning of these nationally significant infrastructures goes. It feels rather like squeezing one of those stress balls, because there is nothing firm that you can really get a grip of in terms of the development consent orders. That is w…” | 114 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “The words you have used, such as “interpretation”, balancing all these things, coming to a conclusion, make it sound incredibly subjective. You have even said, in what you have just told the Committee, that the inspector can decide one way and then the Secretary of State can take a look at it and decide another. That t…” | 68 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “Have the Government established that need?” | 6 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “Yes, they have a combination. The second one is SAF. What is the first one?” | 15 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “What are the criteria under which that can be challenged?” | 10 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “It is demand reduction. You have not mentioned it.” | 9 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “There are a number of different claims about efficiency gains in the sector. How confident are you that those can be delivered?” | 22 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “I mean efficiency in terms of reducing the emissions that are coming from the increases in technology in the aviation sector.” | 21 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “Really? Pricing is not something that you are considering.” | 9 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “It is part of demand management. That is very clear in the CCC reports.” | 14 |
