<p>Following the closure of the Independent Commission on Civil Aviation Noise (ICCAN),
my Department is working with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), for it to take on
the majority of ICCAN's former functions. To help deliver these functions the CAA
will be establishing a new environment panel that will provide it with independent
expert guidance to support its environmental roles, including the consideration of
carbon, air quality, as well as aviation noise.</p><p> </p><p>The CAA is currently
undertaking work to define both the purpose and remit of the environmental panel,
before recruiting a diverse membership. The panel is expected to be operational from
April 2022.</p>
