Tom Tugendhat – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Tom Tugendhat on 2016-10-07.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the Civil Aviation Authority’s review of impact of environmental landing charges published in 2013, if he will exercise his powers under the Civil Aviation Act 1982, Section 78, to direct airports to review their charges for night flights.

Mr John Hayes

The Government has no current plans to use these powers. We have asked the Civil Aviation Authority to update its 2013 review of the impact of environmental landing charges at UK airports to consider the impact of changes since that date.
