Clause 2 - Regulation by Secretary of State of noise and vibration from aircraft
Civil Aviation Bill
12:45 pm
Justine Greening (Putney, Conservative)
The amendment removes that part of clause 2 that would enable the Secretary of State to change the current regime, which is set out in section 78 of the Civil Aviation Act 1982. The current regime restricts night flights at the designated airports of Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted, and the amendment would guarantee that the existing movements limit is retained as a control mechanism, whereas clause 2(2) proposes that the Secretary of State could remove that limit.
