| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “What is the first one, Barry?” | 6 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “Yes, it is not part of the suite of packages that I, as Aviation Minister, am considering.” | 17 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “Pricing is different to demand management, Mr Gardiner.” | 8 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “I do not want to get into Treasury policy and APD, but Treasury is looking at the suite of packages that it has in terms of any industry, trying to make them as carbon-beneficial as they possibly can be. That is why there is a differential between long-haul transatlantic flights and short-haul flights. If somebody call…” | 64 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “Which particular tax do you mean?” | 6 |
| 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) “First, AIG said at an evidence committee yesterday that something like 17% of the world’s SAF is already used in the UK. We can be incredibly proud of that. Airlines are telling us that they are able to commit to the 2%. Some are using more at the moment. The key to this is that this mandate ramps up, as you said, over…” | 151 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “It will not necessarily be sold on the international market. That will be a decision for the counterparty when leasing the contracts to the SAF companies. I hope it will be because I want us to be a world leader in selling this and be export-driven, but that is not guaranteed.” | 51 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “I am more of a Cobden fan. I would like to see it sold across the world. Free trade is fair trade.” | 22 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “What do you mean by “efficiency”?” | 6 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “The airports are doing a great job. I mentioned the 3 million tonnes that Heathrow wants to take out over the next five years through its terminal reconfiguration. We are seeing airports build solar farms, particularly at Newcastle and Birmingham, which is leading them to become net zero very quickly. In terms of aviat…” | 267 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “I think the question relates to the non-CO2 part of emissions.” | 11 |
| 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) “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) “Yes, I have had a private convivial chat with the Secretary of State for DEFRA about the sewage in his rivers. We can take a look at that for him.” | 30 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “Again, that is a great question. What airports and airlines are saying is something that came up at the evidence session yesterday on the revenue certainty mechanism. This is a blend that goes in. It is just like the aviation fuel that we currently have. It is transportable in the regular ways and can be stored in the …” | 103 |
| 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) “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 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “They are saying that we should stop people flying.” | 9 |
