Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if she will make an assessment of the potential implications for her policies of the report by Transport and Environment entitled 'Overshoot: How expansion plans break European airports' carbon limits'.

The Government considers a range of evidence on aviation emissions, including relevant international and European analysis and external reports.

Aviation demand associated with an expanded Heathrow has been factored into successive carbon budget assessments, most recently the impact assessment for the Seventh Carbon Budget. The Government takes an economy-wide approach to meeting carbon budgets, considering the overall package of policies and proposals required across sectors. This supports delivery of net zero through the most practical and cost-effective pathway.
