Civil Aviation Bill

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Worthington (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 7 November 2012. It occurred during Debate on bills on Civil Aviation Bill.

Absolutely. I was going to comment on that very fact, because the Minister began by commenting that responses were mixed. Of course

they were mixed. It actually pleases me that the airport operators were in favour. We are really just listening to turkeys when we want to talk about Christmas, which is never a good way to start thinking about making comprehensive and sensible legislation and regulations. As I hope your Lordships can tell, we are very disappointed on this side. This is not a partisan issue; there has been cross-party support on this question all the way through the process. The House will not be satisfied by the arguments put forward, I think, and we will come back to this. However, at this stage, with regret, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
