Rivers: Canoeing

Mr. Grogan: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what plans he has to increase access to rivers for canoeists. [296318]

Huw Irranca-Davies: We have been working, through our agencies, to provide better access to inland water for canoeists and other users.

The Environment Agency's work on four pilot rivers aimed to increase understanding of access agreements and develop a toolkit for others to use, and shows what can be achieved by agreements. Over time there is scope for voluntary agreements to significantly increase the amount of inland water accessible to all.

Transport

Aviation: Carbon Emissions

Norman Baker: To ask the Minister of State, Department for Transport what estimate he has made of the carbon footprint of an air passenger when travelling from London to New York in (a) first, (b) business and (c) economy class. [296605]

Paul Clark: No estimates of the carbon footprint of an air passenger when travelling from London to New York in (a) first, (b) business and (c) economy class have been made.

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, in partnership with the Department for Energy and Climate Change, published guidance for businesses and organisations on how to measure and report their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in September 2009.

Indicative emission factors, by seating class, were developed on the basis of the average area occupied compared to an economy class passenger. The factors are available at:

[290488]

Chris Mole: The Secretary of State for the Department for Transport discussed his Department's contribution to the housing policies announced in the Draft Legislative Programme with the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, as part of the process of publishing Building Britain's Future.
