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


Civil Aviation Bill

It is almost breathtaking that, when we are proposing an environmental duty that would cover the busiest airport in the UK, the hon. Gentleman should say, ““No, let's not do that. Let's wait till we get Southend right.”” That just does not make sense. We are arguing for the introduction of an environmental duty now. He is arguing that, although he wants one, this one just does not fit the bill. I was not praising him for his consistency, by the way, and just because he is consistently wrong does not mean that I agree with him.
