Speeches by Kane.

“We will bring forward that evidence once we receive the proposals for a third runway from a promoter and begin to review the ANPS.”

“We are talking at the moment to the Minister, Chris Bryant. We are joining up some work streams around inward-bound tourism, and some of the work streams that I have from my jet zero and aviation work streams, to make sure that we marry that up across Government and get the biggest bang for the buck of tourist pounds, …”

“They are not claims.”

“We are joining up our work with Chris Bryant, the tourism Minister, to look at this, and we have a stream of work checking on this. I do not have any figures for you here today.”

“No, that has already been announced.”

“I would say that surface access transport does not lie with me, but it is absolutely critical to decarbonising aviation. We know that markets that airports can penetrate depend on our public transport penetration to the airport. We live 30 miles apart. I have to make that journey on Monday morning to visit Sheffield Un…”

“You are right. The dial is moving to the right on carbon. That is because we have not had a Government that have been making some of the decisions that have needed to be made for quite some time. I am hopeful now that we do have a Government and a strategy that will bring that carbon target back to the centre, so that …”

“Passengers, particularly in the north, have not seen the benefits that we are now introducing with electrification, particularly in solving the disputes, which is giving people more confidence, particularly outside of the south-east, to travel in an environmentally sustainable way to their airport, which they have not …”

“We have data to say that a third runway could potentially bring 100,000 jobs to the UK economy. The supply chains have signed deals with Scunthorpe for the steel. We know that 60% of the supply chain is outside the south-east. It is not just beneficial for the south-east of England; it is beneficial for the whole count…”

“I am Mike Kane. I am the Minister for Aviation, Maritime and Security. I will allow my officials to introduce themselves.”

“I will allow David to come in here, because he is really the expert in how this will proceed once we receive the third runway proposal.”

“In terms of aviation emissions, they are a small part of the Department for Transport’s emissions, but what happens is that they grow over time, because it is the much harder bit to decarbonise.”

“They are ambitious, and we are off target, but that is why we are introducing the measures that we are taking as part of the new Government. In terms of the mixing up of the carbon, I will look to others.”

“When the Chancellor invited proposals for a promoter to come forward with a third runway, we, as a Department and as a Government, said that we would then review the ANPS on receipt of that proposal. There was no commitment, I understand, to an autumn deadline.”

“I am extraordinarily keen to see a successful aviation sector across all of our nations. That means improving the airspace, which I am responsible for, across the whole of the United Kingdom. That means bringing in the revenue certainty mechanism, which I am responsible for across the whole of the United Kingdom. It is…”

“I have read it, Chair.”

“We will lay out our response to the Climate Change Committee later this year.”

“As part of the ANPS, we will produce the data that underpins those claims.”

“These are binding targets.”

“Demand management in aviation is a matter for aviation. I just think that we may be on slightly different pages here, Chair, and I would like to get to a place of consensus. Are the carbon taxes, in your opinion or ours, demand management? What about CORSIA or ETS? Are we talking about restricting people from flying?”
