Speeches by Kane.

“I always enjoy listening to the rasping oration of the hon. Member for Wimbledon.”

“Clause 5 enables the Secretary of State to make the scheme transferring the property rights or liability of a company whose designation has been revoked to the new designated counterparty. The power might be needed if it is no longer appropriate for the designated counterparty to continue its current role. The clause w…”

“I am extraordinarily proud that we have a Prime Minister and a Government who are rebuilding the UK’s reputation across the world once again, building trade deals with our closest partners across the planet, whether that be India, America or the recent agreement with the European Union. That is where Britain should be—…”

“The clause gives the Secretary of State the ability to control some of the activities of the designated counterparty through directions. The counterparty will maintain day-to-day independence and the power is limited to the functions conferred on the counterparty under or by virtue of the Bill. However, it is important…”

“My hon. Friend is a doughty campaigner for Stansted airport, which is near his constituency. Stansted is part of Manchester Airports Group Ltd, or MAG, which I know is extraordinarily keen—along with other airports, AirportsUK, airlines and nearly all the other people who gave evidence—that we pass this legislation. Co…”

“Clause 6 enables the Secretary of State to introduce, through regulations, a levy on aviation fuel suppliers to meet the costs of payments made by the counterparty to SAF producers and to cover the counterparty’s administrative costs. We plan to fund the revenue certainty mechanism through a levy on industry because it…”

“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 have read it, Chair.”

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

“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.”

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

“It is one of the biggest transport infrastructure projects this country has ever undertaken. We have only built one international runway in 80 years. That happens to be in my constituency. Therefore, the Department for Transport, I and the Secretary of State made a decision that we need to gear up for this to be well p…”

“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 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 delivering it anyway. When we get the legislative time, we will put it into legislation.”

“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.”
