HL Deb 07 May 1996 vol 572 cc11-2
Lord Brabazon of Tara

My Lords, I beg to move that this Bill be now read a third time.

Moved, That the Bill be now read a third time.—(Lord Brabazon of Tara.)

Lord Boyd-Carpenter

My Lords, as a former chairman of the Civil Aviation Authority I very much welcome this Bill. It deals with what used to be a gap in the law governing civil aviation activities. It is good that, despite the pressure of other business, the Government have seen fit to introduce this Bill, which I hope your Lordships are about to approve.

Lord Brabazon of Tara

My Lords, I am most grateful for the support of my noble friend, speaking as he does as a former chairman of the Civil Aviation Authority. But I disagree with my noble friend on one small point. It was not the Government who introduced this Bill but myself. I am glad to tell my noble friend that the Bill has the support of the Government. I hope that it will also have the support of another place and become law before very long.

On Question, Bill read a third time.

Lord Brabazon of Tara

My Lords, I beg to move that this Bill do now pass.

Moved, That the Bill do now pass.—(Lord Brabazon of Tara.)

On Question, Bill passed, and sent to the Commons.
