Amendment 107, also from the noble Earl, Lord Russell, would place a duty on the CAA to have regard to climate and environmental targets and to report annually on compliance. As I just noted, the CAA already has statutory environmental reporting duties through the UK Aviation Environmental Review. It must also, in relevant areas, take account of environmental objectives set by the Secretary of State and enforce international standards, including aircraft CO² certification and emissions rules. Amendment 107 would duplicate existing duties and reporting arrangements. I therefore ask the noble Earl not to press it but will be happy to further discuss the reporting requirements with him.
