| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “Power-to-liquid kicks in after a number of years.” | 8 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “I was nowhere near saying that. There has been nothing sclerotic about my first year in this office.” | 18 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “That has been published. I will drop you the notes.” | 10 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “In terms of SAF development, there is first, second, third and fourth generation. Third and fourth-generation is power to liquid. This is where we use electricity and carbon that we capture to produce the fuels for the plane. That is not at scale at the moment, so we have to go through first, second, third and fourth-g…” | 93 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “There is clarity about that.” | 5 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “In my local airport, when planes fly off-piste and create noise, they have to pay into a compensation package, which is used by community groups to spend on local projects. In terms of where that policy from a decade ago is up to, I will refer to David, if that is all right.” | 53 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “That one deserves a written answer because some of that is quite historical. There are international regulations that we sign up to. We are a world leader in that. As we said, we have two studies in the field. We have noise-regulated airports. As a new Minister, I am sometimes not sure how that works or why I have hard…” | 105 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “The point about non-CO2 air pollution is really important. This is an area that we do not know enough about. We do not know enough about the warming effects of contrails from our aircraft. That is why we have another study on non-CO2 impacts, which is a research and development programme that we are spending about £29 …” | 124 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “There is a pathway to net zero for aviation by 2050. SAF, as I have already said, is 40% of that. In addition to SAF, we have to do other things such as airspace modernisation, which we are also legislating for currently. We have the emissions trading scheme, which is a carbon pricing mechanism.” | 54 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “I would say to the honourable Member that his colleague, the Member for Strangford, recently had an urgent question on his plane almost being cancelled. Connectivity is a big problem for people from Northern Ireland and the other regions. Those flights coming into Heathrow are sometimes not seen as big money-earners. T…” | 104 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “To finish my point around ETS, we are looking to widen that market with some alignment with the European Union. We also have CORSIA, which will cover international flights in terms of carbon pricing as well. There is a suite of measures that will help us get down to net zero by 2050. I am happy for you to come in, Soni…” | 62 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “We already have data. We know that a third runway has the potential impact of creating 100,000 jobs, but for the detail we will go through the—” | 27 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “I will say directly to the Member for Shrewsbury that I have the science budget for the DFT, which runs at something like—it is a lot of money—£973 million. I think that is the exact figure. I am not sure there is enough research into that. Scientists are beginning to tell us there is other evidence about warming from …” | 103 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “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.” | 26 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “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…” | 82 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “At the moment, 1G and 2G SAF refers to something called HEFA, which stands for hydroprocessed esters and fatty acids. My kingdom for a chemistry degree, when it comes to some of these things. They will be the contracts that we were letting. This is basically vegetable oil. We can go to residue agricultural waste. We do…” | 140 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “I do not want to stop Mr and Mrs Jones, who have worked hard all year, going on their annual holiday to Mallorca from my constituency.” | 26 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “As part of the ANPS, we will produce the data that underpins those claims.” | 14 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “I am happy to look at what the Climate Change Committee says.” | 12 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “Forgive me. Let me answer the question, with respect back. We already have carbon taxes in ETS and CORSIA. APD is not a carbon tax, but, as I said earlier, Treasury has differentiated the aircraft that traverse the Atlantic and those that fly short-haul. Most of our constituents probably use those aircraft once a year.…” | 86 |
