The latest update to Parliament from the Climate Change Committee says that aviation emissions have doubled since 1990, meaning aviation now causes more emissions than all electricity generation in the UK.

Could you tell me how concerned you are by the increase in emissions from aviation, when every pathway needs them to at least plateau if not reduce, and what strategies for reducing aviation emissions from London airports are now urgent?
