I turn to the amendment tabled by the noble Lord, Lord Moylan, requiring a report to Parliament within two years on the impact of the sustainable aviation fuel mandate. Noble Lords will be familiar with these issues from the recent passage of the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Act 2026. The mandate was designed with consumer costs in mind and already includes review points so the Government can respond if market conditions change. A further statutory review would duplicate existing mechanisms, add process without substance and risk delaying a central decarbonisation policy. I note that the noble Lord attempted to insert a very similar provision, which was disagreed, into the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Act 2026 during its passage through your Lordships’ House, and I ask him not to press the amendment.
