Civil Aviation Bill

The first of the amendments remedies that omission. It does so using the formulation,"““any body appearing to the Secretary of State to be representative of operators of aircraft using the aerodrome””," which is used elsewhere in the Bill, specifically inclause 3, on page 4, in line 31. The latter amendment changes the reference to organisations representing the interests of local people, so that the same formulation is used consistently—that such bodies are those,"““appearing to the Secretary of State to be representative””," of those interests. The effect of the provision—the requirement for the Secretary of State to consult bodies representing the interests of local people—will remain the same.
