Debate
Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [HL]Contribution
Amendment 115, tabled by the noble Baroness, Lady Bennett, and spoken to by the noble Earl, Lord Russell, is on private aviation. The Government are clear that reducing aviation emissions, including from private aviation, is an important priority. Private aviation is emissions intensive, and it is right that all parts of the sector contribute fairly to decarbonisation. However, private aviation covers a wide range of purposes, including emergency response, specialised logistics, government and military use, as well as corporate and leisure travel, and any approach must reflect that diversity.
