Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Lord Cryer and Jesse Norman

Thursday 2nd March 2023 Commons Chamber

[John Cryer (Leyton and Wanstead) (Lab)]

Further to Question 4, the Minister will be aware of plans to significantly increase flights in and out of London City airport over my constituency and many others in east and south London. Can he assure the House that a decision on the matter will not be made while the Civil Aviation Authority’s survey of noise pollution is still being conducted?

[The Minister of State, Department for Transport (Jesse Norman)]

I obviously cannot comment on the situation at the moment, but the hon. Gentleman’s point is well made. If he wishes to take the matter up with the aviation Minister, I am sure that she would welcome it.
