Proceeding contribution from Lembit Opik (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Civil Aviation Bill 2005-06.


Civil Aviation Bill

Does my hon. Friend agree that the smaller airports are something of a red herring because it is obvious to one and all, including, I am sure, the Under-Secretary, that general aviation and general business aviation involving smaller aircraft, of, for example, five tonnes, do not cause the emissions and the noise about which he is concerned? He does not need to worry about them. He could discuss the points that my hon. Friend makes without threat to the small airports.
