HC Deb 22 February 1999 vol 326 c60W
Miss McIntosh

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what representations he has received on the use of hush-kit aircraft in Britain and Europe after 2002; and if he will make a statement. [71539]

Ms Glenda Jackson

We have received representations from three sources about the draft EU regulation on recertificated aircraft, raising specific concerns about the provision on re-engined aircraft. We do not believe that it would be possible to meet these concerns without undermining the aims of the regulation, which we support.
