Civil Aviation Bill

I thank my hon. Friend for giving way again. There is a further powerful point, which was touched on briefly by the hon. Member for Rutland and Melton (Mr. Duncan)—there is no process even for the airport user companies to challenge what the airport might do, other than through the normal commercial process of taking their business away, which may not be an option open to them. I remain puzzled by the Government’s determination to place the power solely in the hands of one private sector body, without any process other than the courts, presumably, as a challenge to the reasonableness of its actions.
