16 Jul 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831)

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

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.

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.

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

What is the first one, Barry?

The Chancellor invited a third runway at Heathrow.

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.

Here we go. I will invite David to come in.

The estimates out there are that there will be 100,000 new jobs through the expansion of Heathrow with a third runway. We would better connect our regions, which is absolutely critical to growth in the UK. We would also massively improve freight because Heathrow—along with East Midlands, but by far and away Heathrow—is

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

16 Jul 2025Environmental 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

We are an evidence-based Government, or we are trying to be. That is why we have put these surveys in the field. We have three now, two on noise and one on non-CO2 tailpipe emissions. That will all be published; that will be open; that will help inform our decisions.

I have read it, Chair.

Again, that is an exceptionally good question. From 2018, Government have had a best-use mechanism policy. I personally think we should sweat the assets that we already have. As we know, Heathrow has been at capacity for two decades. That has led to resilience issues and other issues that you have seen over time. Even

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

16 Jul 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831)

We are delivering it anyway. When we get the legislative time, we will put it into legislation.

16 Jul 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831)

I am not sure whether that is extraordinary. This Government have generally had a clear pathway to net zero by 2050, and we are pursuing that.

16 Jul 2025Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831)

We would expect to see growth straightaway. Heathrow announced last week a £10 billion package over the next five years to improve its terminals and reduce its carbon footprint. It signed a deal with the Scunthorpe Steelworks. The steel for its new landing bays will be sourced from the UK. Some 60% of that £10 billion

Yes, it is not part of the suite of packages that I, as Aviation Minister, am considering.

Pricing is different to demand management, Mr Gardiner.
