With reference to the Climate Change Committee's report on the Seventh Carbon Budget, published on 26 February 2025, what estimate he has made of the proportion of emissions reductions in aviation that will come from (a) demand management and (b) other steps.

The Department for Transport leads on policy to reduce transport emissions and is making great strides in transitioning to greener aviation. Measures to date include introducing the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Mandate, delivering the airspace modernisation programme - which will see cleaner, quicker and quieter journeys - and providing nearly a further £1 billion of funding to support the develop of low and zero emission aerospace technologies through the Aerospace Technology Institute.

Details of Ministers’ and Permanent Secretaries' meetings with external individuals and organisations are published quarterly in arrears on GOV.UK. Published declarations include the purpose of the meeting and the names of any additional external organisations or individuals in attendance.

What assessment he has made of the potential impact of Heckington Fen Solar Park on future trends in the level of energy bills for (a) domestic and (b) commercial consumers in Lincolnshire.

Decarbonising the power system by building more solar will increase energy security by reducing the UK’s dependence on imported oil and gas, which will in turn reduce the exposure of consumer bills to volatile international prices. Currently the cost of electricity tracks the cost of gas because gas generation sets the marginal wholesale price. Decarbonising the power system would break this link and in turn the exposure of UK electricity prices to global gas prices. Through the Clean Power Action Plan, the Government has made clear that where communities host clean energy infrastructure, it will ensure they benefit from it.
