Speeches by Heylings.

“I have one final question. We have heard from the evidence that we are just not seeing the improvements yet, are we? It is about being able to track some of that.”

“I get the assumption and probably subscribe to it. I am just wondering whether there is evidence to show that that few pounds is what is creating this difference to the medium haul.”

“That is where my question comes in, really. The Climate Change Committee says it is uncertain yet whether sustainable aviation fuel and other technologies will reach the net zero goals and, therefore, if they do not, the Government should consider active demand management. I am just trying to elicit a response from the…”

“That is why I am asking. We are hearing an assumption that that could benefit disadvantaged regional areas, but actually, from what we have also heard, because of the exemptions it is not actually being applied.”

“You said that there were four ways in which we will reach this net zero pathway, and you said that the Climate Change Committee agrees with that. It does agree with those four ways, but there is also a fifth way, which it puts first, which is demand management. That has not been included by any of you as one of the act…”

“We hope that the trade deal with the US and the collapse of bioethanol will not affect our ability to do that.”

“I want to ask a central question for the Committee. Mr McCourt, would you like to help me with this? Expanding airports will increase carbon emissions and environmental impact through construction and increased air travel and a greater number of flights. Is that not making it harder for the sector to deliver on its net…”

“Can you help us understand what we heard from the previous panel? The New Economics Foundation said that these expansions would blow the Clean Power Act’s aspirations for net zero by 2050 out of the water. There is London Luton and Gatwick. If we continue with Heathrow expansion, we will blow the benefits of the Clean …”

“I just wanted the Committee to understand. I think that we have heard from you, Dr Chapman, but also from you, Mr Meaney, assumptions that it was the carbon pricing ETS that has changed behaviour, so demand management has worked, in terms of short haul to medium haul. Is there evidence to show that that assumption has …”

“Is there any other analysis that you would dispute? This is the central issue for the Committee. If it was so clear, there would not be a Committee inquiry right now, would there?”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Dame Siobhain. I am pleased to speak in this important and timely debate on the future of the gas grid. I thank the hon. Member for Cannock Chase (Josh Newbury) for securing this increasingly urgent debate and for his expertise on the matter, and I wish him many happy ret…”

“I cannot help but wonder whether the Secretary of State imagined when he stood at his Dispatch Box back in 2009 that he would be back in 2025 still announcing funding for the same project. We support investment in clean, home-grown energy. Small modular nuclear reactors have real potential to reduce our dependence on f…”

“Will the hon. Member let me continue?”

“The North sea’s future lies in clean energy, but despite the UK’s billing as a wind superpower, we still import most of our wind turbine components while communities around the North sea are losing jobs. Trade unions and industry are united in calling for £1.1 billion a year to build up domestic renewables manufacturin…”
