Speaking in the House of Commons on 11 September 2025

Debate

Sustainable Aviation Fuel Industry

Contribution

I congratulate my parliamentary neighbour on his accession. It is good to see his talents recognised. Much of the technology currently used in sustainable aviation fuel is of foreign origin. Part of the reason for that is that no Government body directly supports the development of core technologies used for that, supporting only the development of production facilities. The Aerospace Technology Institute, for example, should be able to invest in research and development programmes to develop sustainable fuel, but is currently not permitted to do so. Will the Minister look at allowing that, so we can accelerate the development of our own technology in this area?
