Sections 28 and 29 deal with the transitional period. I am not sure I am reading this right but, if I am, these are the clauses that allow the airport authority to amend the existing provisions. My thinking was that it has no right to remove them. I would be in favour of removing this part of the Bill and starting all over because I think, and the residents think, the existing provisions, which were given in previous planning permissions, were made for all the right reasons, with the residents' interests at heart. As I am not in favour of changing them, I would like these two clauses removed. If that is what these two sections are doing, which I thought they were, although I was not sure, then I would like them removed.
