Aviation White Paper And Rail Travel

EDM number 1860 in 2002-03, proposed by David Chaytor on 04/11/2003.

That this House welcomes the Government's intention to publish a White Paper on Aviation; recognises that 45 per cent. of air journeys in European airspace are of less than 500 kilometres; and calls on the Government to give the highest priority to the development of rail, and particularly high-speed rail, as a means of reducing dependence on air travel for short haul journeys.

This motion has been signed by a total of 49 MPs.
