Labour (Co-op) — Harlow

Speaking in the House of Commons on 9 September 2026

Debate

Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [Lords]

Contribution

The idea of drop-off fines is to try to convince people to travel to airports via other means. My airport, Stansted, is very accessible by train and new bus routes have been put on, but in the example given by my hon. Friend the Member for North West Leicestershire (Amanda Hack)—we have discussed this before—that option is not available. It seems unfair, if there are not good transport links to an airport, that such charges exist. As I say, in my case it is not such an issue, but in my hon. Friend’s case I can see why it is a problem.
