Proceeding contribution from John P Smith (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 June 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Civil Aviation Bill.


Civil Aviation Bill

Does my hon. Friend agree not only that it is correct that airlines should have a levy on them to pay for health research and the aviation health unit at CAA Gatwick, but with the reasons for that? Airlines are unique among passenger carriers throughout the world in having no duty of care whatever for the health or well-being of their passengers. The levy is therefore a very small price to pay to protect the health of passengers.
