The most recent related consultation closed in early May, and we will consult on future proposals towards the end of this year. The Government is aware that the aviation industry has in the past sponsored research to assess the economic impact of night flying in the UK. Through these consultations, it is incumbent on the aviation industry to continue to develop the evidence base and demonstrate the value that night operations bring to the UK economy.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton grouped question UIN HL7853 question first answered 22/05/2023 14:41:34 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
