Proceeding contribution from Alan Keen (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 the hon. Gentleman recall that about 10 years ago when his party was in government, it reduced the number of night flights? Unfortunately, it did that by reducing the length of the night. When my local paper asked for a comment, I said it might be a good idea to adopt the Arctic summer night and have no night flights at all. Perhaps the hon. Gentleman should warn his colleague, the hon. Member for Windsor (Adam Afriyie), not to extend the length of the night again or he might get the blame for increasing night flights.
