Civil Aviation Bill

My Lords, it cannot conceivably be said that I was suggesting that that should be the case. The argument is that local authorities and airports need to work more closely together than they are doing at the moment and get a shared view of the vision for the area in terms of the strategies for the airport. Frankly, the noble Lord’s area is one where they should be doing more—and the noble Lord is in a position to influence that—but they do not have to pay for it in the simple sense.
