When we debated new Clause 4, I commented that it and new clause 7 are almost identical. I do not see any real reason to detain the Committee further on the matter. The issue of consultative committees at airports is important; there is genuine and legitimate concern about it. In our earlier sitting we discussed the issue at Coventry. However, I see little point in repeating that debate.

Clause

A parliamentary bill is divided into sections called clauses.

Printed in the margin next to each clause is a brief explanatory `side-note' giving details of what the effect of the clause will be.

During the committee stage of a bill, MPs examine these clauses in detail and may introduce new clauses of their own or table amendments to the existing clauses.

When a bill becomes an Act of Parliament, clauses become known as sections.
