question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will ensure that the Lakeside Energy from Waste plant is replaced with facilities of at least the same capacity as now.
tabling member printed	Baroness Randerson
uin	HL9805
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/07/2018 answer text <p>The Government used publicly available data on waste disposal held by the Environment Agency to confirm that the Lakeside energy from waste plant is not a strategic asset and the loss of the capacity can be absorbed. Therefore there is neither a statutory nor a policy reason to mandate replacement of the plant. Nevertheless, the Government understands that Heathrow Airport Limited is currently working with the owners to re-provision the plant.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 26/07/2018 12:32:31 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they plan to support unprofitable plane routes through enforcement of a Public Service Obligation; and how many routes they anticipate might not be commercially viable.
tabling member printed	Baroness Randerson
uin	HL9806
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/07/2018 answer text <p>We expect the majority of domestic routes from an expanded Heathrow to be commercially viable with support from Heathrow, as many are today. Both easyJet and Flybe have already published indicative routes that they would expect to serve from an expanded Heathrow.</p><p>If new capacity coupled with the commercial incentives offered by Heathrow does not deliver sufficient domestic connectivity then the Government has committed to ring-fence slots at appropriate times of day, and an exemption from Air Passenger Duty, which can save £26 from a domestic return ticket. All of these measures can be delivered through the use of Public Service Obligations.</p><p>The Government’s approach to domestic connectivity will be set out in an Aviation Strategy Green Paper, published later this year.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 26/07/2018 12:32:01 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg
