Labour — Wythenshawe and Sale East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 January 2025

Debate

Airport Expansion

Contribution

I thank the hon. Member. She is actually right, and well done to her for being there during the SAF debate and supporting the Government. At the moment, the technology does not exist to fully decarbonise aviation. We are looking at hydrogen, we have the advanced fuels fund and we are investing £1 billion in the ATI, but, as the Prime Minister announced recently when he went to Merseyside, we are investing billions in carbon capture and other technology to offset those emissions. That is what we will have to do in the near future, but I envisage a day when we will have aircraft in our skies, particularly internally in the UK, with zero emissions coming out of their tailpipes.
