I thank the Minister for that reply. As I said in my introduction, we expect major announcements from BAA tomorrow which will obviously have a considerable influence on the way we go forward. Certainly there is some resentment in the airlines. The ones using Heathrow feel that they might be subsidising the...

I am grateful to both Members of the Committee who have contributed to this short debate, particularly the clarity with which the noble Lord, Lord Hanningfield, identified the issues. He listed the four functions of the CAA; none of them is given primacy in the Airports Act 1986. They apply to the...

I thank the noble Lord for his reply, which was much as we expected. I agree that compensation for airports alone should not be addressed. I think we have a problem. I will try and find some international examples so that I can catch the Minister out on another occasion. The cost of a project...

The noble Lord is right that airports can give effect to this, but he must know of major road schemes in the country near which householders suffer. The widening of the North Circular—the part I am thinking of is pretty close to Essex, although just within the London boroughs—has led to...

I support what has been said. Rendition, as practised by the Americans, is wholly unacceptable. I hope that my noble friend will not prevaricate because the Government ought not to do that. What has been done ought to be condemned by them without doubt. I thank the noble Baroness for introducing the subject...

This has been a serious and important debate.
