§ Mr. Sternasked the Secretary of State for Transport if he has any plans to seek to increase airport charges for certain aircraft where he has information that those aircraft were manufactured, in whole or in part, outside the United Kingdom and the manufacturers have received subsidies from their own Governments; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Michael SpicerMy right hon. Friend has no such plans. Airport charges have to be set in the light of international obligations as to non-discrimination.
