Radio Spectrum For Ports And Airports (EDM1306)

Radio Spectrum For Ports And Airports

EDM number 1306 in 2008-09, proposed by Austin Mitchell on 21/04/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Aviation and Shipping.

That this House, concerned that the radio spectrum used by United Kingdom ports and airports is essential for the safety of aircraft and shipping and mandated under international agreement, rejects the proposal from Ofcom that administered incentive pricing should be applied to the spectrum used by ports and airports, on the grounds that this would be a tax on safety which would have to be passed on to customers in higher charges and would therefore damage the competitiveness of British ports and airports; and proposes that the Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform veto any proposal to apply charges to the spectrum used by ports and airports.

This motion has been signed by a total of 39 MPs.
