16 Jul 2025Environmental 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

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 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.

I am not responsible for policy a decade ago. I can tell you that Howard Davies is a fellow fanatical Manchester City fan. That is one fact that I have.

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.

I am happy to look at what the Climate Change Committee says.

They are saying that we should stop people flying.

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 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 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.

All three of them would be Treasury-based initiatives. They are not matters for the Department for Transport.

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

We have a clear pathway to net zero by 2050, and we are pursuing it. That is why we have introduced, in this legislative session, airspace modernisation; it is why we are introducing the SAF mandates; it is why we are introducing the revenue certainty mechanism; it is why we have studies in the field to inform what we
