Sir Fergus Montgomery
asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on the Civil Aviation Bill.
Mr. Ridley
I undertook not to proceed with the Civil Aviation Bill until decisions had been taken on the inspector's report on the Stansted/Heathrow terminal 5 planning inquiries. My hon. Friend the Minister for Housing and Construction and I will not be in a position to announce those decisions in time for the Bill to complete all its remaining stages this Session. I am therefore withdrawing this Bill.
