Baroness Brown of Cambridge (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 25 February 2025

Debate

Airport Expansion

Contribution

My Lords, when we did the Airports Commission review, the UK’s 2050 target was only an 80% emissions reduction, yet the third runway at Heathrow still required reduced growth at regional airports to keep within our carbon budgets. Has this analysis been redone and are the conclusions the same? Should we not wait for the seventh carbon budget, which is being published tomorrow?
