Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 February 2026

Debate

Sustainable Aviation Fuel Bill

Contribution

In sum, while each of these amendments is well intentioned, taken together, they would substitute flexibility with arbitrary constraint, either banning specific technologies or mandating others in a way that would freeze the policy framework in time. We need a revenue certainty mechanism that can back the best projects as they emerge—one that adapts with the market, and not one constrained by today’s assumptions about which technologies or feedstocks will win out. Picking winners or losers in the Bill is a fool’s game and would slow investment, cause dispute and risk leaving the UK behind in a fast-moving international market.
