Proceeding contribution from Lord Smith of Leigh (Labour) 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

It is consulted on, and the implementation of the scheme is a matter for the consultative committee as well. Reports go to them, and they will receive representations when aircraft go off flight paths and create noise in other communities. Those incidents are reported on, penalties are received, and the money is spent with the interests of the consultative committee and the local communities in mind, not in the interests of the airport manager. Going back to the earlier point; the chief executive of Manchester Airport lives under the flight path, so perhaps he could get direct benefits if the noble Lord’s scheme were implemented.
