Civil Aviation Bill

My hon. Friend is making a powerful argument. In my brief contribution to Second Reading, I made the same point—there is no independent process for determining whether the control regime, or the charging regime that stems from it, is appropriate to the circumstances. My one doubt about my hon. Friend’s amendment—which, I recognise, has local support—relates to the choice of the local authority as arbiter. The Civil Aviation Authority, or a similar body, would be much more appropriate to determine whether such a scheme is well designed.
