HC Deb 24 January 1983 vol 35 c258W
44. Mr. Higgins

asked the Minister for Trade if he will take steps to introduce an independent appeals procedure against Civil Aviation Authority decisions on the changes in air routes.

Mr. Sproat

Although there is no statutory system of appeals, the Civil Aviation Authority follows appropriate procedures when considering proposals for changes in air routes. I do not think that setting up a formal mechanism for reviewing the authority's decisions would improve matters.
