Carbon Emissions: Heathrow Airport
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Transport on the potential impact of a third runway at Heathrow on the Government's net zero targets.
Answered by Katie White
The Secretary of State regularly speaks to his Cabinet colleagues about these issues. On Heathrow, this Government is clear that expansion must be compatible with our legally binding carbon budgets and net zero. We are committed to ensuring that the economic benefits of airport expansions are delivered in line with our environmental and climate objectives.
