Speeches by Hinchliff.

“You talked about technologies being experimented with and you referred to options. Your report repeatedly highlights technological uncertainties and the need for robust contingencies, particularly in relation to aviation decarbonisation, and especially over the next 10 years. What monitoring does the Government need to…”

“Your advice states: “Sustained shifts away from high-carbon activities are important where low-carbon technologies are not available or will take longer to develop.” Clearly, that includes aviation, yet at the same time, the previous Climate Change Committee advice, which was that no airport expansion should take place…”

“May I pick up on one particular point on removals? Your report highlights the importance and challenges of addressing non-C02 impacts. As we move towards increasing reliance on engineered removals, is there any sign of technology that will be able to address the non-C02 impacts?”

“In your annual progress reports, will you come back with stronger advice on demand management if we are off track?”

“I fear I may have slightly led us down an avenue because the point around oil and gas was merely given as an example of the ways it might be considered out of date. I will push one further time to see if I can get clarity on whether you are considering reviewing the marine policy statement and, if so, when you might in…”

“I want to follow up, Minister, if I may, briefly on the discussion we were having before the previous Division around the 2011 marine policy statement. I want to clarify, thanks to the expertise of the Committee Clerks, that the marine policy statement sits with DEFRA, not DESNZ. In terms of my question as to whether y…”

“I am sure your commitment to transparency is welcome. Do you feel that the data is currently being made available in a sufficiently timely way to the wider community to enable monitoring of what the Government is doing?”

“Minister Hardy, if I can start by quoting some written evidence we received from Oceana: “Marine planning systems in the UK, particularly in England…offer little strategic direction to avoid and balance competing interests in marine space.” Given that the 2011 marine policy statement that guides all marine plans in the…”

“Certainly holistic planning would be welcome. I am not sure I detected an answer to the question of whether you think the 2011 marine policy statement is still relevant. Will you be updating that statement and, if so, when do you hope to do that?”

“Fine. To move on, how do you feel scientific evidence is integrated into policy decisions to ensure that economic activities taking place in the marine environment do not compromise long-term sustainability and protection?”

“The Corry review, published today, raised concerns about the limited scope of publicly shared data, noting a reduction in particular in the data collected and released by the Environment Agency. How could the data that helps to underpin scientific research and your decision making be made more accessible to others in e…”

“I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Norwich South (Clive Lewis) on introducing a Bill that directly addresses one of the most strongly felt public sentiments in my constituency and across the country. The work he has done on this Bill, with Unison and others, deserves great respect. I support many of the measu…”

“The Minister is shaking her head, but I agree that it is difficult to see how any boss could qualify for a bonus in the current system. I would be failing to adequately represent the constituents of North East Hertfordshire if I did not make it clear that they have no faith whatsoever that private water companies, afte…”
