Business of the House

Contribution

On 6 February, I asked the Leader of the House if she would “use every lever in her power” to ensure that this House had a debate on the climate emissions framework “before any new airport expansion is given the green light”, including at Luton airport. The Leader of the House replied, saying “I will ensure that any such decisions are brought to this House first for scrutiny by her and others.”—[Official Report, 6 February 2025; Vol. 761, c. 954.] And yet, it has been reported this morning that the Government intend to give the green light to Luton airport expansion via a letter on the national infrastructure planning website at 2 pm—in less than three hours—with no debate at all. Is that true? If so, why has there been no debate in Government time about the climate emissions framework, as the Leader of the House had promised?
