GOVERNMENT CONSULTATION ON UK AIR TRANSPORT DEVELOPMENT

Early day motion 456, tabled 7 January 2003 by Bob Spink (Conservative). Signed by 35 members.

That this House notes the apparent refusal of the Government to ensure that Ministers or Department of Transport experts attend major public meetings to explain the future development of air transport in the UK options and to listen to the public's views; and urges the Government to change its consultation policy to ensure the various options are explained, questions answered and the public are listened to.
