| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “My question to you is, “What are the criteria that you use for that test?” When it says, “making best use”, according to whom, what values and what criteria? That is what I am trying to get a grip of. Every time I think, “I have something here”, it squidges out.” | 51 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “Sorry. I was having a little trouble hearing because our sound system is somewhat tinny here. I understood from what you were saying that you have to have decided in the first place that the need was there, and then you had to check whether the expansion would meet that need. Is that right?” | 54 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “When will you be publishing that data?” | 7 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “Ms Newell, could you just repeat your title?” | 8 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “It is demand reduction. You have not mentioned it.” | 9 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “Ms Donkin, I have been struggling to get to grips with the whole way in which the planning of these nationally significant infrastructures goes. It feels rather like squeezing one of those stress balls, because there is nothing firm that you can really get a grip of in terms of the development consent orders. That is w…” | 114 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “There are a number of different claims about efficiency gains in the sector. How confident are you that those can be delivered?” | 22 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “I mean efficiency in terms of reducing the emissions that are coming from the increases in technology in the aviation sector.” | 21 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “The SAF mandate will not apply to it.” | 8 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “Yes, the ETS. S&P Global Commodity Insights has looked at the potential constraints on SAF and the potential market. It has said that the number of countries that have proposed or adopted long-term blending targets of sustainable aviation fuels continues to increase. They have done their assessment of that, looking for…” | 103 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “We know that increasingly people are taking the medium-haul, and yet there is no extra tax on the medium-haul. This will be levied on the short-haul. It will not impact the medium-haul.” | 32 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “I applaud what you have done on that because it has been very important in driving forward the production of SAF. S&P Global has looked at global production in terms of long-term commodities. We may produce it—it is great that you have driven that production—but it will be sold on the international market and prices wi…” | 64 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “That is interesting. We have never insisted on our oil or gas production from the North sea only being sold in the UK, despite what other political parties have said.” | 30 |

| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “Maybe I should turn to Ms Krylova. You are in charge of carbon budgets, are you not?” | 17 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “Yes, they have a combination. The second one is SAF. What is the first one?” | 15 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “The CCC, in its most recent update this year, said that supply-side factors could constrain or enable the rollout of low-carbon technologies. It made specific mention of SAF. It said, “For emerging technologies in our pathway … including synthetic SAF … we generally seek to minimise reliance on them as a sole solution …” | 85 |
| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “It is demand reduction. You have not mentioned it.” | 9 |
