Civil Aviation Bill

Debate between Jim Fitzpatrick and Seema Malhotra

Wednesday 25th April 2012 Commons Chamber

[Jim Fitzpatrick]

We are very grateful to the Minister for her reassurances, and we certainly welcome the strengthening of the auditing arrangements for the CAA that she has outlined. We will be very keen to get the views of those who lobbied all the members of the Public Bill Committee to ensure that the CAA became even more efficient. From her explanation, it sounds as though it has been recognised that it needs strengthening. With the reassurances that she has given, I beg to ask leave to withdraw the clause.

Clause, by leave, withdrawn.



New Clause 6

Compensation for noise pollution

‘The CAA must ensure that airport operators establish and implement a scheme to compensate persons residing in or occupying business or community premises in an area designated in the licence conditions for the noise pollution arising from activities within the airport area, including the landing and taking off of aircraft.’.—(Seema Malhotra.)

Brought up, and read the First time.

[Seema Malhotra]

I beg to move, That the clause be read a Second time.
