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.

My Lords, I thank the Minister for his considered response. There is a great sense that there is something lacking in the Bill as a whole—that climate change and greenhouse gas in particular are largely absent. Given everything that we know about climate change and the urgency of the problem, that is a failing of the Bill as it stands. However, I have listened to the arguments that this is perhaps not the right place to make this amendment. I urge the Government to listen to my noble friend’s comments that perhaps there is still time for the Government to put climate change at the heart of policy-making and to bring forward another amendment to do that in the general duties part of the Bill.
