Civil Aviation Bill

My Lords, I thank the Minister for that answer but I honestly do not find it very satisfactory. I think that people will be plagued with noise and I wanted the Government to take the matter more seriously, as I believe most people wish us to do. However, I recognise that, if I were to divide the House, I would probably lose and I would be better off accepting the assurance that he gave under Commons Amendment No. 4C. But this is a very serious issue and I warn him that I will come back to him through other channels if I become aware that people’s interests are adversely affected in the areas concerned. I beg leave to withdraw the Motion. Motion A1, by leave, withdrawn. On Question, Motion A agreed to. 5: Clause 2, page 2, line 41, leave out subsection (2) The Commons disagree to Lords Amendments Nos. 5 and 11, but propose Amendment No. 11A in lieu. The Lords insist on their Amendment No. 5, do not insist on their Amendment No. 11 and do disagree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 11A in lieu for the following reason— 5B: Because it is desirable to maintain the current system of regulating night flights The Commons do not insist on their disagreement with the Lords in their Amendment No. 5, do not insist on their Amendment No. 11A, but propose the following amendment to AmendmentNo. 5— 5C: Line 1, leave out ““subsection (2)”” and insert ““subsections (2) to (4)””.””
