Clause 1 - Aerodrome charges: noise and emissions
Civil Aviation Bill
10:45 am
Adam Afriyie (Windsor, Conservative)
Can the Minister clarify what seems to be a missing dimension? Different airports around the country may choose different noise limits for local residents or within the airport boundaries. Is there a mechanism somewhere in the Bill—I have not found one—that will enable a Minister to set a national noise target? The amount of noise that wakes someone up at night or disturbs them during the day surely does not depend on whether they live in Manchester or Windsor.
