Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 3 March 2017 to Question 65245, on Gatwick Airport night flying, when he plans to establish the Commission on Civil Aviation Noise; which groups he plans to consult on that Commission's remit; and what opportunities he plans to provide for public engagement.

We will establish an Independent Commission on Civil Aviation Noise (ICCAN) following consideration of the consultation responses regarding its function, structure and governance.

Any group or individual can engage with the consultation and provide responses to our proposals on ICCAN through our current UK Airspace Policy consultation. More details on how to submit a consultation response are available at the link below:
