|---|---|---|
| 2 Apr 2025 | Transport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 810) “I just wonder whether there are airports elsewhere in the world, perhaps more modern ones, that have this greater degree of resilience.” | 22 |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Transport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 810) “How long has it been operating for?” | 7 |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Transport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 810) “Have you looked at it to see what lessons you can learn from what is implicit in your comment, which is that it is best in class?” | 27 |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Transport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 810) “You have not done so far.” | 6 |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Transport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 810) “That would have been a good idea, would it not? Eliane Algaard, you mentioned the fact that you cannot see behind the connections. Should you be able to?” | 28 |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Transport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 810) “You think that even for a strategically important piece of infrastructure. I am sorry, but the analogy does not stand up.” | 21 |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Transport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 810) “Nigel Wicking, I suspect that you take a slightly different view there.” | 12 |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Transport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 810) “Thank you. That is helpful. To this point that Elsie Blundell mentioned about the role of the public sector, what should Government and industry be doing together to mitigate the risks and effects of power outages that have the potential to cause so much disruption, as we have just seen?” | 50 |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Transport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 810) “Do the rest of the panel have anything to add to Nigel Wicking’s comments there?” | 15 |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Transport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 810) “Perhaps both SSEN and Heathrow can confirm this point about how much visibility there is, because you have contradicted each other there. I will not ask you to continue. Should the electricity infrastructure be critical national infrastructure where it is supplying such a major transport network?” | 46 |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Transport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 810) “Should the supply into something as significant as Heathrow be critical national infrastructure, and regarded as such?” | 17 |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Transport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 810) “I am assuming it is not currently at that status.” | 10 |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Transport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 810) “But not the substations.” | 4 |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Transport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 810) “Are the three we are talking about critical national infrastructure?” | 10 |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Transport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 810) “So, as far as you are concerned, the substations are critical national infrastructure?” | 13 |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Transport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 810) “Can you confirm that overloading of the network was not the cause, or even a factor, and that, as the grid expands with the Government’s Clean Power 2030 agenda, this will not be a cause for concern?” | 37 |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Transport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 810) “There is no overloading because you are under pressure to make those connections.” | 13 |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Transport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 810) “Likewise, you have no concerns around future grid connections and the effect they will have.” | 15 |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Transport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 810) “Yes, the two reports are consistent; you are correct. Nigel Wicking, is this something you have been looking at?” | 19 |
| 2 Apr 2025 | Transport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 810) “Other airports elsewhere in the world are able to do it, but it is prohibitive for you.” | 17 |
