Civil Aviation Bill

Does the Minister accept that tackling aircraft emissions by means of emissions trading is abject surrender? It does not reduce emissions one bit. We are seeking at least to trace a path where airlines themselves reduce emissions. I will not indulge in technical talk about how emissions can be reduced, but the car industry has reduced emissions because it was told over some time that it should do so. The Minister has just said that we will do nothing about emissions and just hope that, some time or another, the European Union will turn up with an emissions trading scheme. That does not answer the question.
