Speeches by Gardiner.

“That would be a heck of a lot of energy used to get rid of some of the materials in compostable paper cups.”

“My goodness! We have established from what you have said that this is pretty toxic and long-lasting stuff.”

“Perhaps only if the Government set those very clear regulatory targets will that way be found.”

“What lessons do you think we can learn from other countries that have successfully reduced PFAS in their consumer goods, Mr Hirlam?”

“Given that the EU is seeking to apply the essential use concept to regulation, how should critical and necessary use in industry be determined? In a sense, as I asked earlier, what is essential use, and how do we weigh up the competing interests? Is there a framework for that, or should we be recommending that there is…”

“Dr Cloy, you are telling us that at the moment we spray our children’s school uniforms with a substance that we know has the potential to cause cancer, and that can interfere with their fertility in the long term. That seems quite incredible, doesn’t it? What happened to the precautionary principle that you mentioned?”

“As the Member of Parliament for the largest Jewish school in Europe, may I thank the Foreign Secretary for his earlier assurances on safeguarding the community in this country? May I also commend the way in which he has diligently pursued a negotiated outcome to this destabilised situation? He knows that it used to be …”

“I should not be flippant.”

“We are always glad to have an imprimatur for that.”

“When do you expect those tests to be completed?”

“It is on the Government’s website at ACN0004. It is by Dr David Metz. It states that it is £62.29 billion against £28.358 billion. Those are 2019 figures.”

“Will Thames Water still be in existence to work with you on that, Mr Gorman? That was not a serious question. I will pass back to the Chair.”

“At this rate, they will be able to stay here and enjoy them. That is what we are worried about.”

“I want to pick up on the revenue certainty mechanism that you were talking about and also talk about the buyout mechanism. There is a buyout provision within what the Government have said to you, is there not? If you do not manage to secure an adequate supply of SAF, you can pay money instead. What are your estimates f…”

“It is on the Government’s website at ACN0004. It is by Dr David Metz. It states that it is £62.29 billion against £28.358 billion. Those are 2019 figures.”

“Mr Gorman, perhaps when you write to us with those stats, you could include what you are factoring in here. By 2040, you have to have 22% SAF in your fuel mix. It is going to be tough to get there. I accept what Mr Robinson was saying about the increase. It is an important industry. There is no doubt about it. It is im…”

“Confusing.”

“We do need to see that evidence. Could you write to the Committee setting out those figures, the extent to which you see the gain from expansion reducing ticket prices and how that aligns with the offset in the carbon price?”

“Mr Gorman, I would agree with you that a trading system is better for the reasons that you have said, but it does not work terribly well when 59% of the permits are free. I wanted to check the hand signals that you were making. You said that expansion would lower the cost to the traveller and you agreed that an increas…”

“I am sure.”
