§ Miss McIntoshTo 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 JacksonWe 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.
