§ Mr. Steenasked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make it his policy to permit chapter 2 aircraft in British ownership to continue flying in and out of British airports until such time as foreign airlines have to comply with the same noise regulations.
§ Mr. Michael Spicer[pursuant to his reply, 17 November 1986, c. 22]: I can assure my hon. Friend that the Government's policy, and their position in current international negotiations, is that United Kingdom airlines should not be discriminated against in any new noise regulations that are developed.
