Proceeding contribution from Countess of Mar (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 5 December 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Civil Aviation Bill.


Civil Aviation Bill

I, too, have received letters from local authorities. I am extremely fortunate in that I live out in the country and rarely see a plane. The only ones we see are RAF planes that practise flying under the radar at Clee Hill, which is quite frightening, or the old Hercules that comes thundering over at night which wakes us up and we remain awake for quite a long time. If I were exposed to noises like that on a regular basis I should object. I think ““If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”” should be the motto in this case. Leave things as they are.
