Speeches by Savage.

“Just yesterday, I was talking to a pub landlord who wants to expand his business and has acquired a new building. He has found that even though the new building is derelict, his business rates on it have increased by 89%. He is eager for his pubs to continue to be the heart of the community, but he is finding it diffic…”

“Will the right hon. Gentleman give way?”

“Dr Hughes, the CCC expects major shifts in maritime decarbonisation by 2040. How confident are you that shipping can deliver on that pathway? What strategic choices or signals are needed from Government, sooner rather than later, to make that pathway credible?”

“Can you say a bit more the strategic choices needed from this Government within the next few years to make the pathway credible?”

“Mr Stace, I have a fairly similar question on industry. The CCC pathway relies on big increases in electrification by 2040, with hydrogen and CCUS accounting for the rest. What is your assessment of how deliverable that pathway is? Are there any decisions that the Government need to look at including in the seventh car…”

“Thank you for coming to speak on this panel. We really appreciate you giving up the time. Could each of you please introduce yourselves and the organisations that you represent?”

“Mr Counsell, the Climate Change Committee pathway projects aviation emissions falling by 2040, but at the moment we are looking at continuing demand growth and, of course, airport expansion. In your view, how deliverable is the pathway? What are the critical strategic decisions that the aviation sector and the Governme…”

“Thank you for that very clear answer. I have a couple of follow-up questions. You mentioned some absolute numbers in terms of millions of tonnes of aviation fuel; how many millions of tonnes is the total global market? What sort of percentage are we talking about?”

“You mentioned imports; where do you envisage imports coming from?”

“Presumably those countries that are exporting will also be expanding their own aviation industries?”

“Like the Secretary of State and the hon. Member for East Thanet (Ms Billington), I am a survivor of COP15 in Copenhagen. I have seen just what hard work it is, and I commend the cross-party delegation for representing our country so well in Belém. However, environmental campaigners have raised concerns over the carbon …”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Dr Murrison. I thank the right hon. Member for Aldridge-Brownhills (Wendy Morton) for bringing this important debate to Westminster Hall. The number of competing demands on Britain’s land is growing rapidly. To put that into context, Britain has about the same population …”

“We are calling for more affordable houses and social housing. I stand by that commitment. What we are seeing at the moment is a free-for-all for developers. Unfortunately, now that we no longer have the five-year housing land supply, we cannot be sure that we are going to build the right kinds of houses in the right pl…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Ms Ghani. I am honoured to support the passage of this Bill, along with my Liberal Democrat colleagues. It is a real pleasure to see people across the House who have been long-time champions for the ocean. Many people would have liked to have been here tonight, but are…”

“I agree with my hon. Friend that the treaty can help to provide clarity about previously unregulated areas. Many countries have already ratified it, which shows that ocean conservation really can unite us where, in the past, there has been disunity. While I welcome the speed with which the Government have introduced th…”

“I share the right hon. Gentleman’s concern about the impacts on neighbourhood development plans of the new housing targets. In my constituency, those plans were blown out of the water by the new targets. In the Cotswold district, 80% is protected landscape and of the remaining 20%, half is floodplain. Does he therefore…”

“On behalf of many of my constituents, I rise to speak in strong support of Lords amendment 40. Nature unites us in a way that few other things can. Even the hon. Member for Clacton (Nigel Farage) told me of his love for nature after the Second Reading of my Climate and Nature Bill. Our love for the fields, woods and wa…”

“This afternoon, the Planning and Infrastructure Bill will return to the Commons. I share the concern of many of my that the Bill seeks to rip up environmental rules to boost growth. Will the Minister urge her colleagues at the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government to support Lords amendment 113, to ensu…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Sir John. I thank the hon. Member for Sheffield Central (Abtisam Mohamed) for securing this debate. I welcome the publication of this plan; on paper, it marks an important step in bringing our climate ambitions into alignment with our responsibilities to nature and to …”

“11. What steps he is taking through the criminal justice system to help to support victims of environmental crimes.”
