Clause 1 - Aerodrome charges: noise and emissions
Civil Aviation Bill

John Pugh (Shadow Minister, Transport; Southport, Liberal Democrat)
A number of issues are being confused. I do not think that anyone objects to locally variable schemes, but the Bill seems to allow even quite a large airport to have no scheme at all. Although there might be a case for small airports that have very little traffic or very little international traffic not having a scheme, there is surely a good case for all big airports having some sort of scheme, but the Bill simply will not require that.
