Speeches by Kane.

“We already have data. We know that a third runway has the potential impact of creating 100,000 jobs, but for the detail we will go through the—”

“It is one of the biggest transport infrastructure projects this country has ever undertaken. We have only built one international runway in 80 years. That happens to be in my constituency. Therefore, the Department for Transport, I and the Secretary of State made a decision that we need to gear up for this to be well p…”

“To finish my point around ETS, we are looking to widen that market with some alignment with the European Union. We also have CORSIA, which will cover international flights in terms of carbon pricing as well. There is a suite of measures that will help us get down to net zero by 2050. I am happy for you to come in, Soni…”

“We have asked a promoter to come up with proposals for a third runway by the end of this month. We will then review the airports national policy framework. We will be making changes to the national policy framework. It is already leading to growth because both my Department and particularly Heathrow are scaling up to m…”

“No, that has already been announced.”

“I am not responsible for policy a decade ago. I can tell you that Howard Davies is a fellow fanatical Manchester City fan. That is one fact that I have.”

“That has been published. I will drop you the notes.”

“I have read it, Chair.”

“Yes, it is not part of the suite of packages that I, as Aviation Minister, am considering.”

“I would say to the honourable Member that his colleague, the Member for Strangford, recently had an urgent question on his plane almost being cancelled. Connectivity is a big problem for people from Northern Ireland and the other regions. Those flights coming into Heathrow are sometimes not seen as big money-earners. T…”

“I am Mike Kane. I am the Minister for Aviation, Maritime and Security. I will allow my officials to introduce themselves.”

“When the Chancellor invited proposals for a promoter to come forward with a third runway, we, as a Department and as a Government, said that we would then review the ANPS on receipt of that proposal. There was no commitment, I understand, to an autumn deadline.”

“I am extraordinarily keen to see a successful aviation sector across all of our nations. That means improving the airspace, which I am responsible for, across the whole of the United Kingdom. That means bringing in the revenue certainty mechanism, which I am responsible for across the whole of the United Kingdom. It is…”

“We have data to say that a third runway could potentially bring 100,000 jobs to the UK economy. The supply chains have signed deals with Scunthorpe for the steel. We know that 60% of the supply chain is outside the south-east. It is not just beneficial for the south-east of England; it is beneficial for the whole count…”

“Thank you very much for giving us this opportunity today. It was a great honour to be asked to be the Aviation, Maritime and Security Minister. We had a lot to do. We had two key manifesto commitments at the general election. One was to do with airspace modernisation. Our airspace is analogue in a digital age. We can i…”

“We would expect to see growth straightaway. Heathrow announced last week a £10 billion package over the next five years to improve its terminals and reduce its carbon footprint. It signed a deal with the Scunthorpe Steelworks. The steel for its new landing bays will be sourced from the UK. Some 60% of that £10 billion …”

“Pricing is different to demand management, Mr Gardiner.”

“I will allow David to come in here, because he is really the expert in how this will proceed once we receive the third runway proposal.”

“What is the first one, Barry?”

“I do not want to get into Treasury policy and APD, but Treasury is looking at the suite of packages that it has in terms of any industry, trying to make them as carbon-beneficial as they possibly can be. That is why there is a differential between long-haul transatlantic flights and short-haul flights. If somebody call…”
