Speeches by Cadbury.

“I get that that would be great. Mr Gorman used the word “could”. We could scale up; we could deliver. I am just wondering whether you have any expectation that we will deliver.”

“Very quickly, when it comes to decarbonising airside vehicles and equipment, is the UK best in class? Are any of our airports best in class?”

“Yes, but that is a small proportion of the—”

“Tugs cannot be EVs.”

“You have answered some of my questions. On this issue of regionality, overall across the UK, there is something like 500 million additional passenger capacity being wanted by various airports, a majority, but not all of them, in London and the south-east. Notwithstanding the fact that each airport is a separate private…”

“Given that, if Dr Chapman is right, most of the flying is UK-based tourists going abroad, not everyone wants to come to near London to go to a high-volume airport in Spain, Greece or whatever.”

“Would you also tie that into some kind of regional growth strategy? The previous Government called it levelling up.”

“The Transport Committee is about to look at the maritime policy statement, which is a national policy looking at maritime all around UK waters. For some reason—this is historic—the airports national policy statement only applies to Heathrow. Is that fair? Does it make sense to have a national aviation strategy looking …”

“Tugs cannot be EVs.”

“Yes, but that is a small proportion of the—”

“Very quickly, when it comes to decarbonising airside vehicles and equipment, is the UK best in class? Are any of our airports best in class?”

“I also thank the Secretary of State for the decisive action she has taken to address the causes of HS2’s cost overruns. We look forward to having Mark Wild and the Rail Minister at our Committee very shortly. I actually want to celebrate something that HS2’s leadership should be proud of: the work they have done on ski…”

“We would prefer Wednesday afternoon, because our Committee meets on Tuesday afternoons.”

“I apologise that I am able to bring only one colleague from the same party with me today. The votes in the Chamber meant that I have lost several, but you can see that I have a broad spread of names from at least three parties, including several who are not members of the Select Committee. I do not think I need to tell…”

“And some do not and want them.”

“Anyway, I fully support the Humanist Society’s position to allow a couple to be married by a celebrant who shares the couple’s values and beliefs, one that works in Scotland, Northern Ireland and many other jurisdictions across the world. I would have some concerns if the law was opened up to any non-religious belief o…”

“Many thanks to my hon. Friend the Member for Tamworth (Sarah Edwards) and others who secured the debate. The speakers we have heard already have spoken so powerfully about why this simple change in the law needs to happen. The hon. Member for Henley and Thame (Freddie van Mierlo) talked about what must have been a cost…”

“I welcome the significant transport investment that the Chancellor has announced in the north and in the city regions. That is helped through her changes to the Green Book, but when will the place-based business cases be reviewed so that those areas can start planning for the local transport initiatives that they have …”

“My hon. Friend and neighbour is absolutely right, and I know that the plane and engine manufacturers are continuing to work—as they have done for decades, to be fair—on quieter and less polluting aircraft. Sometimes there is a tension between those two. Airspace modernisation will not make a lot of difference to my con…”

“I start by thanking the Secretary of State for Transport for her speech. I also thank her and the Aviation Minister, my hon. Friend the Member for Wythenshawe and Sale East (Mike Kane), for coming to speak to the Transport Committee earlier this year about aviation and, of course, wider matters. I welcome the introduct…”
