Proceeding contribution from Nigel Mills (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 April 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Civil Aviation Bill.


Civil Aviation Bill

Will the hon. Lady join me in welcoming the full body scanners that have been installed by Manchester airport? The evidence is that not only are they cheaper to run and much preferred by the passenger for being less intrusive—there is no need for the physical pat-down—but they maintain all the security features. That is the kind of security innovation that we would like to see, and it is a crying shame that there is a threat from the European Union that the use of those scanners will not be allowed to continue.
