| 14 May 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “Can I turn to our other two witnesses and ask if they have anything that they would like to add on the topic of noise pollution? To what extent can communities be supported and compensated for the impacts that noise pollution is having on them? Does that compensation in any way mitigate the impact on those communities?…” | 66 |
| 14 May 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “Very briefly, and my apologies for running late. If you have covered it, say so. I have two quick questions. The European report said that the growth in aviation would account for the SAF that is now to be included and, therefore, the emissions level would still be the same. That is first question, if you could comment…” | 80 |
| 14 May 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “Dr Lavia, can you outline for us the health impacts of living with excess noise?” | 15 |
| 14 May 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “The written evidence that we have received speaks of the impacts of noise pollution causing noise-induced hearing loss, high blood pressure, heart disease, sleep disturbances and stress, as well as what you have termed the annoyance element, the cognitive impairment, the sleep disturbance and the cardiovascular disease…” | 78 |
| 14 May 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “I understand that, but that was not the question that I asked. If you cannot provide the evidence now, perhaps you could write to us. It would be helpful if you could set out for the Committee, perhaps in writing, any studies that have looked specifically at the impact on airport communities versus a control group wher…” | 109 |
| 14 May 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “That is what we need. Thank you. Can you talk us through perhaps the regulations around noise pollution for airports? Are they strong enough? Could they play an additional role in any future airport expansion?” | 35 |
| 14 May 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “If we look at the other mitigations that perhaps could be made rather than those installed on planes and the limits on numbers and times of flights, what else could be done to reduce noise pollution at airports and for those communities?” | 42 |
| 14 May 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “Is it possible that technology such as hybrid or battery-powered planes could play a role in reducing noise pollution?” | 19 |
| 14 May 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “What are you talking about specifically there?” | 7 |
| 13 May 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “But your problem is that because you are behind in both AMP7 and AMP8, you are incurring additional penalties. You just said £500 million hangover from last year in AMP7. That means that it is going to become even more expensive to get the capital in and persuade investors to come in because they see that the further y…” | 68 |
| 13 May 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “That is why I have tried to do it that way, Chair. The £3 billion of debt funding that you arranged is in two tranches of £1.5 billion, is it not?” | 31 |
| 13 May 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “The second tranche was conditional on you putting in a challenge to the CMA against Ofwat’s PR24 price control ruling, was it not?” | 23 |
| 13 May 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “You do not believe that is right?” | 7 |
| 13 May 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “You put your CMA challenge on hold, did you not?” | 10 |
| 13 May 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “How much is that assessment of the additional penalties from the EA?” | 12 |
| 13 May 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “That is what I was asking.” | 6 |
| 13 May 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “The additional cost that you are factoring in will come from the fines the Environment Agency levies against you for those additional inspections that they have promised to fulfil.” | 29 |
| 13 May 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “Have you made an internal assessment?” | 6 |
| 13 May 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “Did you put it on hold because the CMA challenge could not report back in time to let potential equity investors see the final price control in order to invest or develop their engineering plan of what they are going to spend and how they are going to deliver it?” | 50 |
| 13 May 2025 | Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 588) “So when was PR24 capital investment programme due to start? Was it April 2025?” | 14 |
