Proceeding contribution from Lembit Opik (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 10 October 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Civil Aviation Bill.


Civil Aviation Bill

I do not want to get directly involved in the debate, because I do not live near an airport. Will the hon. Lady accept that aircraft engines are quieter than they used to be? People are concerned that the Bill will allow the economic attractions of what amounts to the increased disturbance of the local environment near large airports to outweigh environmental considerations. If the relationship between aviation and politics were less confrontational, the debate might be less fractious.
