Civil Aviation Bill

The Under-Secretary is possibly right—and neither he nor his Government will be around when the Bill is implemented. It appears as though a Government in their dying days are leaving my constituents and many others a legacy that they will have to put up with long after that Government are out of power. Does he agree that although the decision is delayed, it is a little like delaying a death penalty and having a stay of execution? My constituents will continue to suffer uncertainty and blight on their properties. What will happen in 2012? It appears that if the Bill is passed, they can look forward to more night flights—and more day flights.
