Speeches by Rhodes.

“In terms of your current capacity at the airports that you have, are you at full capacity? Are you suggesting that you would need to expand to increase capacity? Are there other ways in which you could use your current capacity better? Is there any spare capacity there that you could develop?”

“Would it be possible to spread the environmental impacts beyond one area by using the capacity that may already be in the system or investing in new infrastructure that allows hubs in Manchester or somewhere else to be developed?”

“Mr Robinson, are airports making the best use of the capacity that they have? Is there spare capacity in the system?”

“Is it an option to use that capacity in other airports beyond Heathrow? Rather than expanding Heathrow, could we use the capacity that is already in the system elsewhere?”

“I commend my hon. Friend the Member for West Ham and Beckton (James Asser) for securing this debate. The covid-19 pandemic had a global reach, yet the impact was not felt equally. On a local level, the pandemic had a disproportionate impact on some of the most vulnerable in society. The elderly, those with pre-existing…”

“I have a final question for Mr Shepherd. What role should the insurance industry and insurers play in shaping climate resilience more broadly through investment, for instance, in community-level defences, or alignment with planning and building regulations that we have just been talking about?”

“So in terms of potential recommendations from this inquiry, one of the things you would like to see is measures that would ensure that there is proper regulation of regulations that are already in place, as well as potentially new ones, but ensuring that there is resource to ensure that there is proper oversight of peo…”

“In terms of what you would want the Government to do, it is about regulations around design, planning and building regulations, but it is also about ensuring there is sufficient resource to implement those, to ensure they are being implemented properly.”

“In the situation that you are putting out there, lenders could previously look at it and say, “If that is the risk for 12 months, then that is likely the risk it is going to be for the 30‑year period”. They cannot do that anymore. The point was made about the need for more capital to cover risk. Taking that all …”

“Thinking about how the industry is adapting to its models, pricing and long-term strategies—the growing impacts of climate change on flood risk, but also more generally—how is the industry adapting how it works around prices and modelling on flood, as one aspect of more general climate change?”

“You mentioned having a list of products. Who would you see as being responsible for, essentially, compiling that list and making it available?”

“Ms Dunford, what other tools or policies are needed to ensure that people can understand, assess and act on their flood risk?”

“Essentially, for the measures to work you need something that talks about the risk, but then something that talks about what measures you can put in place.”

“Just to pick up on the issue of flood performance certificates, you are saying that, essentially, they are just looking at risk, rather than resilience measures, but would not they drive the move towards resilience?”

“On that issue of flood performance certificates, I am going to turn to you, Mr Lennon. In terms of flood risk disclosure, at the point of sale, or when people are renting and so on, would they help raise that awareness? Would it make people more aware?”

“In terms of that public understanding, is there an issue that not enough people know what the flood risk is at their home?”

“Mr Shepherd, there is an issue around public understanding of flood risk and what cover is available. What is the insurance industry doing to improve that level of understanding?”
