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
Does the hon. Gentleman accept that the issue is more complicated than is sometimes made out? I fully accept that some constituents and some Members, including some in my own party, suffer, but aircraft are also very audible in constituencies such as mine. Aircraft flying at 10,000 ft and heading to Manchester 70 miles away can be heard. If we begin to make comparisons, we must consider the background level of noise, which does not necessarily strengthen the case of some people who live relatively close to airports.
