Speeches by Kane.

“There will be a more detailed breakdown from the CAA, which we can get if needs be. How airports work is that, for every passenger who goes through their doors, there is a cost to that. I think it is £33.26 at Heathrow. That is how they make their money. Every month or every quarter, the CAA publishes the figures that …”

“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, …”

“What is interesting in the revenue certainty mechanism, when we talked about first, second and third generation, and the HEFAs and the waste that we will make the SAF off, is that, when that waste becomes valuable, is it waste anymore? That was quite an enlightening piece of work that the evidence committee brought for…”

“The mechanisms that we are introducing are through the revenue certainty mechanisms. The counterparty, which will be a Government arm’s length organisation, will be inviting bids for those SAF manufacturers to upscale their production in the UK to meet the mandate that we have already introduced.”

“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.”

“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 …”

“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…”

“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 …”

“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.”

“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?”

“Let us lay out our response to the CCC in due course, and then we can come back at some stage.”

“I beg to move, That the Cttee has considered the draft Transport Act 2000 (Air Traffic Services) (Prescribed Terms) Regulations 2025. It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Sir Jeremy. The UK’s airspace is a vital piece of our national infrastructure that is essential to economic growth, connectivity and na…”

“I am grateful to the hon. Member for Orpington for stating the Opposition’s support. UK aviation enjoyed its most successful month in history in April. Over the next 20 years, we are looking at the doubling of numbers in aviation, and freight as well, so modernising our airspace is critical to making sure that there is…”

“I thank the hon. Member for Wimbledon for his support; we have the whole House behind the measure. I commit to laying out the details of the steps for setting up the service, how much it will cost and what the consultation will be as we go forward over the next few years. Question put and agreed to.”

“Today is 4 July and there will be fireworks across the pond, but we want rocket boosters under our space industry. Most of Europe is landlocked—or I should say space-locked—which provides the UK with a unique opportunity to be a launchpad for satellites produced all around Europe. That is the market that we are going f…”

“I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Glasgow East (John Grady) for promoting this short but important Bill. I wanted to get further into Newcastle United’s Inter-Cities Fairs cup win in 1969, but I do not think today is the day. I thank all who have contributed to the debate. I thank the hon. Member for Wyre Forest (M…”

“I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Gravesham (Dr Sullivan) for securing this important Adjournment debate on the impacts of river crossings on her Gravesham constituency. She said that the charter for the river and her town was from 1401—I think it was Henry IV, having taken over from Richard II. The whole Shakespea…”

“I recently met the chief executive of Thames Clippers, which I think owns the pier, and that model has been pursued in other parts of the country, so, again, it is worthy of exploration with me and my officials. Across the financial period 2025-26, the Department has allocated Kent county council nearly £40 million to …”
