Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will make it his policy for all UK internal flights to be sustainably powered by 2030; and if he will make a statement.
It is critical that aviation plays its part in delivering the UK’s net zero ambitions.
The Transport and Business Secretaries co-chaired the new Jet Zero Council on 22 July which brought together senior leaders in aviation, aerospace and academia to drive high ambition in the delivery of new technologies and innovative ways to cut aviation emissions.
We will also consult on our position on aviation and climate change later this year.
