HC Deb 16 January 2001 vol 361 c184W
34. Sandra Gidley

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what measures he is taking to minimise the environmental impact of the use of aviation fuel. [143999]

Mr. Mullin

Aviation is a global business and effective action needs international agreement. We are working, in co-operation with our European partners, within the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) on a range of measures, including tighter standards, better operating practices, and market-based incentives. We are also supporting research and discussing voluntary measures with UK airlines.
